Cultural and humanitarian mission of St. Petersburg State University: Vysotsky and Tsoi accompanied by 16th century gusli sounded in the office of the rector of Melitopol State University | Saint Petersburg State University

Taking advantage of the hospitality of the rector of Melitopol State University, a graduate of St. Petersburg State University Nikolay Toivonen, the cultural and humanitarian mission of St. Petersburg University held educational events for students of the MelSU College, students and teachers of the university in Melitopol, Primorsk, Berdyansk and Kirillovka. Now hundreds of its students can tell that the bagpipe is a traditional Russian instrument, and the fact of the existence of street theater in Russia is recorded in sources from the 17th century.

This is the restoration of cultural and historical ties that have long been tried to be destroyed in this territory. Ideological problems, value orientations, continuity of tradition and, ultimately, effective processes of integration into the Russian state are the current problems that Melitopol State University is working on. The cultural and humanitarian mission of St. Petersburg State University has also made a visible contribution to this work.

Consultant to the Vice-Rector for International Affairs of St. Petersburg University, responsible for the cultural and humanitarian mission of the University Artur Gavrilenko

Before each lecture block, students and teachers of MelSU could visit the interactive exhibition of the "Museum of Forgotten Music". More than 30 exhibits – kalyuki, pishchiks, bagpipes, gusli, hurdy-gurdies and other musical curiosities sounded and revealed their history. Each instrument could be listened to and held in hands. The luckiest listeners were united into an improvised orchestra at the end of the lecture, and a miracle happened – everyone became a musician. In Melitopol, Berdyansk and Primorsk, the founder and permanent guide of the "Museum of Forgotten Music" Sergey Plotnikov donated sets of folk wind instruments to student groups. "There is hope that these seeds of traditional culture will bear good fruit, turning into folk orchestras!" – noted Artur Gavrilenko.

Lectures on traditional theatre, as well as master classes on making puppets and theatre screens, were given by the creator and director of the Papyemashenniki Theatre, puppet master Vsevolod Mizenin. From ancient Muscovy with Olearius's 1634 engravings, the lecture brought listeners to today's 7th Line of Vasilievsky Island, where one of the most famous street theatres of our time was created. Listeners were introduced to the classic plots of Petrushka comedy, learning that Petrushka conquers sadness, anger, envy, and sometimes even death.

Lectures on the traditions of buffoonery in Rus', on domrache were given by the creator of the project "Rook and Crow" Alexey Grachev and, of course, the buffoons themselves were introduced to the audience. Together with him, students and teachers of MelSU learned folk songs "There stood a tree in the field", "Like the Don Cossacks" and others.

The St Petersburg University Cultural and Humanitarian Mission continues to collect initiatives and is always open to dialogue. Proposals are accepted at the following address: Arthur. Gavrilenko@spbu.ru

Artur Gavrilenko, who is also the head of the family folk group "Lad", spoke about the traditions of caroling and volochebny songs, organized master classes on traditional games. In each branch of MelSU, the student body was given a "festival bag" with equipment for organizing dozens of various festive playgrounds. As Artur Vyacheslavovich noted, now the leisure time of students of Melitopol State University will be fun, healthy and educational.

Zaporozhye and Melitopol are known as cherry land. The cultural mission of St. Petersburg University supported the glorious tradition of planting gardens by participating in the planting of the "Memory Garden" in the city of Berdyansk, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory.

According to the consultant of the Vice-Rector for International Affairs of St. Petersburg University, such large-scale results of the cultural and humanitarian mission of St. Petersburg University are achieved thanks to the unification of large volunteer teams. The project is becoming a kind of metastructure for volunteers in the field of culture, education and enlightenment. This time, it was possible to unite volunteers from five regions of Russia into one team, including the Voronezh, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod regions, St. Petersburg and Moscow. War correspondent and journalist Alexander Panferov also took part in the mission. As a photojournalist, he is always behind the scenes, but thanks to his work, a lot can be said without words.
