The meeting participants read excerpts from the works of Dostoevsky.

After that, an exchange of views took place on the connection between Dostoevsky's texts and today's reality.
Natalya Semaan, a teacher of the Russian language courses at the Rossotrudnichestvo office in Beirut, told Russkiy Mir that children from Lebanon who study Russian take part in events dedicated to Alexander Pushkin and other Russian classics. Last year, a poetry competition in memory of Mikhail Lermontov was held in Lebanon, and a competition dedicated to Sergei Yesenin is planned for the current year.
