In Pyatigorsk will hold a poetic round table

On September 24, the State Museum-Reserve of M. Y. Lermontov together with the Stavropol branch of the Union of Writers of Russia will hold a meeting of generations – a poetic round table “In days of doubt, in days of painful reflections on the fate of my homeland...”.

Within the walls of the museum there will be a dialogue about the eternal and urgent. Poets and writers – members of the Writers’ Union of Russia – will meet with young people at a round table to reflect together on the key issues of our time. The program of discussion includes the value of human life and the question of what makes a person human; love for the Motherland – from high words to everyday deeds; tolerance and harmony, as well as preserving unity in diversity.

Special attention will be paid to the phenomenon of terrorism and extremism, where the word is seen as a weapon against hatred and fear. Classical literature and contemporary poetry will be the starting point for an honest dialogue about how participants see the future of the country and their place in it.

Earlier it was reported that the Kislovodsk library named after Solzhenitsyn became a co-executor of the presidential grant for literary tourism.
