Вопрос актуальности изучения, сохранения традиций and the infallibility of the Russian language in our country has been supported for many decades. The day of the Russian language was first celebrated in the 60s. By the eighties, it began to be held annually, but dates, as a rule, were timed to the anniversary celebrations of writers, and he did not have the status of a public holiday.
Interest in the history of the native word massivelyAwakened in times of struggle with universal illiteracy. Together with the development of writing, students were taught to hear the richness of the Russian vocabulary and the melodiousness of the poetic syllable. People absorbed knowledge, learned to read and write, first listening and then reading the literary works of Russian classics on their own. In Soviet times, love for the native language in our country was all-consuming, and people did not care what day the Russian language was considered a holiday. It was illiterate to write, not to be able to quote A. Pushkin, not to recognize M. Gorky's syllable - it was just a shame.
Even during the war years of the teacherLiterature staged themed holidays devoted to the word of Russian writers and poets. The people, exhausted by war and hunger, listened with trepidation to the voices of the readers, forgetting for a while the horrors of reality. The impact of the Russian word on the strength and courage of the soldiers was great. And in marching clothes of many fighters the read volumes of Russian classics were carefully kept.
Статус государственного праздника День русского language acquired in the XXI century. But the first attempts to legitimize and give particular importance to this event were made in 1996 in the Crimea. The question was not only about the scale of the celebration, but it was also decided on which day of the month the Day of the Russian language would be especially noticeable to society. This year, the Crimean Russian community made a proposal to establish such a holiday as the Day of Protection of the Russian Language. To attract general attention, we decided to celebrate it in June, the month dedicated to the memory of A. Pushkin.
Already in 1997 on the initiative of the defenders of the nativethe literary language for the 200th anniversary of A. Pushkin, the day of June 6 was first declared the Day of Russian Poetry, and since that time the holiday has been celebrated annually. The magnificent events dedicated to this date were held not only in our country, but also in many other states, attracting new, young listeners to the ranks of the fans of Russian poetry. The All-Russian status of the holiday allowed the language experts to draw public attention to the problems of preserving the purity of the Russian language.
Десять лет дискуссий о необходимости развития youth interest in language was required to make a meaningful government decision. In 2007, an article titled "Let there be Day!" Appeared on the pages of the Parliamentary Newspaper. Its author, I. Klimenko, can be called the herald of the idea of the nominal day of the native language. I must say that this call was not heard immediately. At first, the slogan “Russian language in every home” served as a pretext for opening a new annual festival of literature - “The Great Russian Word”. In the second year, the festival acquired international status.
In 2010, the idea of establishing days of languages withinternational significance, supported by the UN Assembly, defining the dates of celebrations of French, Chinese, English, Russian, Spanish and Arabic languages. A year later, the Russian Language Day was officially declared the President of the Russian Federation. No one doubted the month of celebrations - June.
From this time on June 6, the date of the glorification of Russian poetry throughout the world is customarily celebrated as the Day of the Russian Language. It is carried out within the framework of an international program aimed at expanding the boundaries of multilingual space and supporting the equal importance of the six languages recognized as official in the UN.
In our time, the world community recognizes RussianThe language is one of the most popular in the world. By distribution, it ranks fourth after English, Chinese and Spanish. Interest in our language is constantly growing, first of all it is determined by the Russian cultural heritage. This factor always determines the degree of mutual understanding of people of different nations.
Today is not surprising to the desire of foreignersread our classics in the original. Economic and business areas of cooperation with Russia are a strong motive for foreigners to learn the Russian language. In this regard, in recent years in many countries around the world, the number of educational programs has dramatically increased, including Russian literature. According to statistics, today, the language of L. Tolstoy and A. Pushkin outside of Russia is being studied by almost 200 million people, and the Birthday of the Russian language is celebrated in many parts of our planet.
After a few years BirthdayRussian language in our country has become a grand event, and the scale of the celebrations only increases. The language of A. Pushkin, recognized as the “golden measure” of classical Russian literature, serves as the leitmotif of the entire holiday. As before, thousands of people come to Pushkin Hills to enjoy the sounds of music and poetry once again. It is difficult to accommodate all the planned activities in the framework of one day, so the festive performances are held here throughout the month. Programs and dates of performances are planned in advance, and concert venues are filled with both famous and young poets, musicians and actors.
The name of the Russian poet, genius A.Pushkin, not only unites lovers of literature around himself, but also continuously expands the boundaries of the use of the Russian word. His “poetry of reality” and fairy tales, despite the difficulty of translation, gather readers all over the world, of all ages and nationalities.
Such an annual event as the Day of the Russian Language today has become evidence of the consolidation of Russian-speaking people around the world, the connection of generations and the strengthening of citizenship among young people.
