Abstract

The Mikhailovskoe Pushkin readings, held in the State Museum-Reserve of A. S. Pushkin “Mikhailovskoe” in 2020, were dedicated to the next anniversary of Alexander Pushkin’s arrival in exile to Mikhailovskoe and another significant and very relevant date in the context of modern events — the 200th anniversary of Alexander Pushkin’s visit to the Crimea. At the same time, we are taking into account that 2020 is marked by the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic war, to which the peoples of our multi-ethnic Fatherland made a decisive contribution. The Great Victory is the result of unprecedented feat of our fathers and grandfathers, and this feat is a natural achievement of the centuries — old heroic history of Russia and spiritual development of its peoples. The events of 75 years ago, filled with tragedy and epic grandeur, are experienced with special fullness throughout this year. They defined the cross-cutting content of the conference. The theme of the readings made it possible to recall and comprehend heroic pages of our Fatherland`s history, reflected both in works of folk art and documents, written testimonies, literary sources, and in the work by A. S. Pushkin, writers of his generation, formed in the process of “opening Russian history” and understanding it in the context of the Patriotic war of 1812. During the Readings participants also discussed the problems of museum business, new archival publications, issues of cinema and its reception in a modern cultural space.
