Tamara Skok, Director of the Department of Innovative Linguistic Projects at TV BRICS and Project Head of "Modern Russian," said that over the years, cooperation between Russian studies experts in India and TV BRICS has resulted in several linguistic and cultural telebridges on diverse themes. She noted that each edition focuses on relevant topics aimed at expanding academic discussion beyond stereotypes and broadening the linguistic horizons of international students. This year's theme highlights the dual nature of the Russian winter, beautiful yet harsh as portrayed in literature. Winter also reflects traditional celebrations and rich poetic imagery, offering significant insights into Russian culture and identity.

During the telebridge, participants will discuss works by renowned authors such as Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Nikolai Gogol. Special attention will be given to the literary depiction of blizzards and the etymological links between the Russian words for blizzard, rebellion, and confusion. The programme will also include discussions on winter proverbs, screenings of excerpts from film adaptations such as "Anna Karenina," and conversations about traditional holidays including Svyatki, Christmas, and Epiphany.

The session will conclude with creative activities, including poetry recitations by students and performances of songs related to winter and the New Year. The telebridge marks the ninth edition of the "Modern Russian" project's international educational series. (ANI)
