On the eve of the Day of the reunification of Crimea with Russia, which is celebrated on March 18, a film about one of the sights of the Crimean peninsula will be shown on the Presidential Library’s portal.

Vorontsov Memorial Library: what is hidden behind the spines of the books of the Vorontsov Palace" tells about a unique collection of books on history, geography, military affairs, agriculture, numerous dictionaries, reference books, encyclopedias and periodicals, which was collected by more than one generation and has more than ten thousand volumes, as well as the cooperation of the Alupka Museum-Reserve with the Presidential Library in digitizing the unique book collections of the M.

The presentation of the video film of the Presidential Library “Foreign words”” in the poetry of Alexander Pushkin”, dedicated to foreign borrowings in the Russian language, is timed to coincide with the World Poetry Day. Why did Tatyana write her letter in French, and what kind of "wild state" of the Russian language does Pushkin speak to Vyazemsky? How was the modern Russian language formed and what role did Pushkin play in this? Consonance with the current situation - an abundance of borrowings from the English language - makes this video interesting to everyone who is interested in the history of the Russian language and literature.

The Presidential Library’s portal also features a video lecture by Galina Sedova, head of the Pushkin Memorial Apartment Museum in St. Petersburg, dedicated to the mysteries of the poet's genius.

Another lecture from the Knowledge of Russia cycle will portray Konstantin Nikolayevich Batyushkov, whose work had a great influence on the young lyceum student Alexander Pushkin.
