Reading Trends of Schoolchildren in Russia When being children, people constantly hear something along the lines “you have to read a lot to become a decent person”. This notion is impossible to deny and I cannot help admitting that the earlier a one engages into active and deep reading the better. It is worth mentioning that the kind of books youngsters choose to read is the reflection of their maturity, so called ‘acid test’ of it. This is the point where the new question arises: what do pupils tend to read these days in Russia, which is considered to be the country with one of the greatest numbers of readers? The fast-paced life dictates its own rules and children have to adjust to the immense flurry of changes, which occur every day in various realms. Young people pursuing the dream of having their own place under the sun, read the books which contain practical knowledge that might be used to surpass the future rivals in labour market which implies in Russia dog-eat-dog competition. What is more, there are representatives of a minority group (note: they do exist) who genuinely enjoy the immersion in the world of fiction. Initially compelled to read Russian classical authors, pupils, eventually, start finding this process satisfying and educating, swelling the ranks of fans of “War and Peace” and “The Master and Margarita”. To conclude, reading trend of Russian schoolchildren has partially changed since the previous century. Yet, some of the favourites remain to be in limelight of the younger generation.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' Review. Part two The beginning of the story acquaints us with a single-parent family living in Maycomb County which is not to be found on the map due to being just a figment of author’s imagination. A widower Atticus Finch does his best to raise the children. One summer Jem and Jean Louise get to know to Dill, agile and inquisitive boy, who possess an insatiable desire for adventures. Prompted by his idea, the trio starts making the sallies into the yard of the local recluse with a dark past. One day, when they almost get shot, Jem, Jean Louise and Dill decide to stop their mischiefs, so not to let Atticus learn about their pilgrimages. Then autumn comes… Every autumn in the book is filled with melancholy: it starts with Dill’s departure, followed by long sequence of monotonous school days. It’s worth mentioning that the book gives the understanding of what educational system was like in USA in 1930s: no reading or writing, just learning from cards. That, of course, made studying tedious for youngsters. The fall turns into the winter when another interesting thing happens and enables the reader to learn more about the indigenous people. A snowfall is a true miracle for them which they can witness only once in about 50 years. This marvelous phenomenon is followed by far less joyful incident of fire in the adjacent house. Eventually, the owner of shambles serves as an example of fortitude and courage for the girl throughout the story. In a few days after that Atticus is appointed to defend a black man who is accused of taking advantage of a white woman. Tom Robinson, the farter of a family with little children, has never committed this crime. There is no any evidence to prove the opposite. But Atticus knows he will lose the case. In the court, Mr. Finch makes it clear that all of this commotion is just a bad attempt of Ewells to conceal Mayella’s affection to a man of color and the fact that Bob Ewell constantly beats her. Nevertheless, the jury’s judgment was ‘guilty’. Jean Louise, Jem and Dill are devastated. Injustice and inequality stagger them and they desperately want to change the world.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' Review. Part one Harper Lee… This name may seem unfamiliar to the uninitiated, but those, who prefer to look for life lessons in literature they read, are well acquainted with it. Not being prolific, the author managed to perpetuate her name in centuries by virtue of only one work. What is so special and marvelous about the novel? Well, the unique approach towards telling the story and the story itself, full of poignant sorrow and incomprehension of the society by innocent and pure children. And here a new question comes up: where and how had Harper Lee got such a profound understanding of infant soul and inner world? According to the interviews given by the novelist, her childhood memories served as a basis for the plot, so let me introduce you to the brief biography of Nelle Lee. On April 28, 1926 Frances Cunningham (Finch) gave a birth to a daughter. That woman had a mental disease and seldom left her domicile, so the only breadwinner in the family was her husband, who worked as an attorney in the local legislature. Newborn baby was named after grandmother and a doctor, who had saved life of her sister. Before becoming a title lawyer, the father of the girl once defensed two black man in court. They were convicted in murdering a white storekeeper and sentenced to death by hanging. This case eventually became the foundation for one of the apogee of the novel “To kill a mockingbird”. Harper Lee initially pursued career in law, following father’s foot-steps, but was flunked out of university, when realized that her true vocation was a writer. In 1950s Harper Lee’s friends generously gave the woman her one year salary and attached a note "You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas." That was a starting point for her hard work on the novel, which ended only in 1960, when the book was published. The editorial team of the publishing house and the author herself did not anticipate the immense popularity the book would gain. Since the first publication, “To kill a mockingbird” has never been out of print. These days we can say that is not just success, it is immortality of the name and the work. That is one of the reasons why my choice fell on it. Librarians proclaimed the novel to be the book, which every adult should read before death and this tells readers a lot about it, right?

My attempt to translate the beginning of the novel called ' Roadside picnic' by Strugatsky brothers. You have to create good out of evil, because there is nothing else you can create it out of. Excerpts from the interview on physics that was taken by the journalist Harmontski on the radio in 19.. of doctor Valentin Pilman on the occasion of the second getting the Nobel Prize: - Should we consider so-called Pilman radiant to be your first serious discovery? - I guess you should not. The Pilman radiant is not the first, not serious and, strictly speaking, not a discovery. And isn’t completely mine. - You are probably joking, doctor. The Pilman radiant is a definition which is familiar to every schoolchild. - This notion doesn’t astonish me. The Pilman radiant was discovered by a schoolchild first. That’s a pity, I don’t remember his name. Look it up in Svetson’s ‘History of the visitation’, everything is thoroughly described there. The radiant was discovered by the schoolchild first, the coordinates were published by a student, and the radiant was named after me for some reason. - Yes, sometimes marvelous things happen to discoveries. Could you explain our listeners, doctor Pilman… - Listen to me, countryman. The Pilman radiant is quite an easy thing. Imagine, you spin a globe and shoot a revolver (it’s better to use something more colloquial) at it. The holes are going to lie down in a smooth curve. The point is that you call the first serious discovery of mine the elementary fact: all the six zones of the Visit are disposed on our planet surface the way as if a one fired a gun, which is located somewhere on the Earth-Deneb line, at the Earth six times. Deneb is the alfa of the Cygnus constellation, and the spot, from which a one so to say fired, is called the Pilman radiant.
