Marking the 235th Anniversary of the Birth of Sergei Timofeyevich Aksakov

A memoirist, theater and literary critic, and the author of the fairy tale about the magical scarlet flower. Have you guessed who it is? Sergei Timofeevich Aksakov!

His milestone anniversary—the 235th anniversary of his birth—is approaching, and we cannot overlook this event. We recommend reading a book by this wonderful writer from our collection:

«The Childhood Years of Bagrov-Grandson» – this is an autobiographical work about life seen through the eyes of a child, about vivid childhood impressions and early—not always joyful—discoveries. Family ties, one's native land, and natural beauty hold a special place a significant place in the soul of the young hero, Seryozha. The story of his coming of age continues in the book «Memories». https://ruslan-neo.nsu.ru/

Happy reading!
