Three hundred books of the leading Russian publishing houses which turn the light on the history of Russia, philosophy, theology, philology, and art were donated to Macedonia during the solemn ceremony which took place on October 27 2010 at the Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje. Among other books are Russian classics and modern literature, books which focus reader’s attention on historical and cultural heritage of the Russian emigration, textbooks on Russian language. The ceremony was organized by the Alexander Solzhenitsyn House of Russian Abroad with participation of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Macedonia.
