find some information and get ready to speak eneducation in ancient russia

Many still believe that in the pre-Petrine era in Russia did not teach anything. Moreover, education itself was then allegedly persecuted by the Church, requiring only that students somehow recited prayers by heart and gradually dismantled printed liturgical books. Yes, and taught, they say, only the children of the priests, preparing them to take orders. Those same from nobility, who believed in truth "teachings - light...", entrusted the education of their offspring discharged from abroad foreigners. The rest were " in the darkness of ignorance."

All this refutes Mordovtsev. In his research, he relied on a curious historical source that fell into his hands - "ABC". In the Preface to the monograph devoted to this manuscript, the author wrote the following: "at present I have the opportunity to use the most precious monuments of the 17th century, which have not been printed anywhere, are not mentioned and which can serve to explain the interesting aspects of ancient Russian pedagogy. These materials consist in a lengthy manuscript called " ABC "and contains several different textbooks of the time, composed by some "pioneer", partly copied from other, the same publications, which were entitled by the same name, although different content and had a different number of sheets.

After examining the manuscript, Mordovtsev makes the first and most important conclusion: in Ancient Russia, schools as such existed. However, confirms this, and more ancient document - the book "Stoglav" (collection of resolutions of the Stoglavy Cathedral, held with the participation of Ivan IV and representatives of the Boyar Duma in the years 1550-1551). It contains sections on education. In them, in particular, it is defined that schools are allowed to contain persons of a spiritual rank if the applicant receives on that permission from the Church administration. Before giving him one, it was necessary to test the thoroughness of his own knowledge of the applicant, and from reliable guarantors to collect possible information about his behavior.

But how were the schools organized, how were they managed, who studied in them? "Stoglav" did not give answers to these questions. And now in the hands of the historian gets a few handwritten "ABC Books" - books very curious. Despite its name, it is, in fact, not textbooks (they have no alphabet, no scripts, no teaching account), but rather a guide for the teacher and detailed instructions to students. It spelled out the full daily routine of the student, by the way, concerning not only the school, but also the behavior of children outside it.

My Favourite Shop

I like shopping and I often do it with my mum or my friends. I must say I like going to clothing shops more than food shops. I could spend hours just looking at clothes, choosing things to try on and trying to find that perfect look and price.

My favourite shop is 'LC WAIKIKI'. This brand is represented in more than 40 countries. It sells fashionable clothes and accessories at affordable prices. 'LCWaikiki' stores are quite popular in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. We can also buy their clothes on the Internet. There are four types of clothes in the Waikiki stores — for men, women, boys and girls of all ages.

I love this shop because their clothes are stylish and comfortable. I can always find something to my taste and I like the service.

Я люблю ходить по магазинам и часто делаю это с мамой или подругами. Должна сказать, что мне больше нравится ходить в магазины одежды, чем в продуктовые. Я могу часами смотреть на одежду, выбирать вещи для примерки и пытаться найти идеальные образ и цену.

This hi-tech bikini (1) contains small solar panels (2) which can power your iPod, so you can listen to music all day while you're on the beach. Andrew Schneider, the designer (3) who created the idea, (4) is working on a pair of solar shorts too. Apparently, these can create enough energy to cool your drinks. Obviously, the solar panels only work in places (5) where the sun shines. But Schneider (6) doesn't think that's a problem, because people hardly ever (7) go to the beach if it isn't sunny. Just be careful if you (8) like swimming. Remember to dry your bikini completely before you plug in your music!
