2023 is the year of the Russian language in Kazakhstan. As part of this event, the "Poetic Shanyrak" was held in the Central City Library on March 29, in which young actors of the youth drama studio "Art Lend" took part, led by the chief director of the A.P. Chekhov Theater Amosov A.S. A student of secondary school 21 Maksimova Ekaterina, who has been studying in the studio for several years, read a poem in prose by I.S. Turgenev "Schi." The choice of the author is not accidental: Turgenev knew all the languages ​​of Europe, his contemporaries called him the Jupiter of Culture. But I. S. Turgenev was first of all a connoisseur of his native Russian language, a classic of world literature. The performance of Maksimova Ekaterina, as well as other participants of the "Poetic Shanyrak," was marked with Letters of Appreciation for her creative contribution to the development of cultural ties between Kazakhstan and Russia.
