A British blogger makes documentaries dedicated to Russians living abroad and maintaining love for their Motherland and its culture. The heroine of the new film is teacher Kunney Lekhanova, who works at a school in Uzbekistan as part of the Russian Teacher Abroad project, the telegram channel of the Center for International Cooperation reports.
Kunney Lekhanova teaches Russian to young residents of a small Uzbek village in the Fergana Valley. In a conversation with the blogger, she said that she was very happy to teach schoolchildren the Russian language. The teacher noted that she loves Yakutia and Russia and, working in Uzbekistan, she feels that she is doing the right thing.
The teacher admitted that abroad she feels more Russian than at home. In Uzbekistan, she is called the ''Russian teacher,'' and she feels Russian there, while remaining Yakut. ''I am the personification of Russia. In the class I am the Russian teacher. I’m proud of it!'' said the teacher.
In November, filming of the ''Walk in the Clouds'' film, dedicated to Russian scientists and artists who studied and captured the Himalayas, began in India and Nepal. The film is being created within the framework of the Russian Geographical Society project entitled ''Russian Heritage of the Himalayas. Continuing the journey."
