1.ancient rus was one of the early feudal states and eld a leading place in the world history.

the slavonic written language came to rus from bulgaria in 9th century. towards the end of this century the replacement of religious books in greek for those in the slavonic language began. between the 10th and 13th centuries russians developed a high civilization, which formed the foundation of the russian cultural threasures were accumulated. monasteries were cultural and educational centres. they had large libraries and well-equipped book-making shop, in which not only church manuscripts were copied and translated but original books were written.

2.in pre-revolutionary russia there was a network of primary schools for common people. nevertheless illiteracy among common people was very high. well-off people taught thei children in grammar schools, commercial shools or secondary schools teaching no classics.there were also schools for nobles only. only boys at the of 10 or 12 from noble families of high rank were admitted and studied there for six years. they were taught many different subject. the mos important were russian literature, history, geography, mathematics, physics, logic, law,rhetoric and such foreign languages as french, english, german and latin. those who graduated from such educational institutions usually entered the service of their country to realize their abilities and knowledge to the benefit of their state.

4.after the revolution in 1917, education was guaranteed to the soviet citizens by the constitution and was free of charge including higher education. teaching at schools was carried out almost in all national languages.school attendance was compulsory for those between 7 and 15. those who completed their secondary education and passed entrance examinations to higher education establishments received monthly grants if they did not fail in the examinations that they took at the end of each term. higher school enducation lasted five years.

5. in 1991 the former fifteen republics of the soviet union became independent states.the russian federation, the biggest and most powerful of them began to develop as a democratic state. from the very start democratic reforms began to take place in many fields of life. changes in political, economic and social conditions required changes in the system of education.along with state schools where education is free of charge there appeared many private schools, colleges, lycees, gymnasiums and different courses where students can study sciences and humanities including foreign languages.

6.at some schools the leavers are sent abroad to continue their education at sorbonne in paris, at the universities of great britain, garmany, usa and other countries. after graduating from those universities they return to to their country to work in different fields of national economy. a former student of a russian school said on his return home: "i was surprised how much there is in common between russian and western young people - their love for entertainments and the same kind of music and their wish to know everything new. i hope there will be time when young people from abroad will also come to our country to study"
