Video lecture "Values of the Russian language picture of the world in Russian songs" held at the Presidential Library

The video lecture entitled “Values of the Russian language picture of the world in Russian songs” was held on February 17, 2023. This is the second video lecture from a series of lectures on the Russian language as a means of interethnic communication. 2023 has been declared the Year of the Russian language as the language of interethnic communication in the CIS space. In this regard, the Presidential Library holds lectures that reveal topical issues of Russian studies and the problems of the development of the Russian language in the world.

Famously, the soul of people is its language and its songs. Each historical time has its own songs, in which certain linguistic features are manifested. What meanings were embodied in the Russian song culture of the 20th century, which includes a range from author's song to Russian rock? What songs do remain in the memory of the people for a long time and what values do they embody? Candidate of Philological Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of General and Russian Linguistics of the Pushkin State Institute of the Russian Language Alexandra Nikolaevna Matrusova will tell about this at the video lecture.

The video lecture is available on the institution’s Rutube-channel.
