✍️📚 Russian children’s writer Svetlana Krivoshlykova has visited South Africa for the first time – a journey she describes as a long-cherished dream finally fulfilled.
On Jan 15, Russian children’s writer and Chair of the Union of Children’s & Young Adult Writers, Svetlana Krivoshlykova, visited the Russian School in Pretoria. She was accompanied by Igor Mikryukov, President of the International Union of Journalists & Writers, who has previously visited SA together with renowned children’s author Valentin Postnikov.
During the visit, the guests were also warmly received by the Ambassador of Russia to South Africa, Roman Ambarov.
🌍 Although her books have traditionally focused on Russian children, folklore, and cultural heritage, this visit has opened a new creative chapter. Africa, she notes, will now certainly find its way into her stories.
From Jan 16 to 23, Svetlana Krivoshlykova will also visit Cape Town, where she is scheduled to meet with readers and continue her literary dialogue.

📚🤩 Российская детская писательница Светлана Кривошлыкова впервые посетила ЮАР с турне, которое она называет “давней мечтой, наконец ставшей реальностью”.
15 января российская писательница, председатель Союза детских и юношеских писателей С.Кривошлыкова вместе с Президентом Международного союза писателей и журналистов И.Микрюковым посетила школу при Посольстве России в ЮАР.
В рамках визита гости также были тепло приняты Чрезвычайным и Полномочным Послом России в ЮАР Р.Е.Амбаровым.
Для И.Микрюкова это не первый визит в ЮАР: в январе прошлого года он приезжал сюда вместе с писателем Валентином Постниковым.
Несмотря на то, что большинство рассказов С.Кривошлыковой посвящены популяризации фольклора и культурного наследия России, эта поездка, по словам писательницы, открыла новый этап в её творчестве. Африка непременно найдёт отражение в будущих произведениях.
С 16 по 23 января Светлана Кривошлыкова посетит г.Кейптаун и проведет ряд литературных встреч с юными читателями приморского города.

After his return, he shared his impressions of the city, its unique atmosphere and beautiful people:
“Sochi is a total gem – the kind of place you’d think only exists on a movie screen.
But as an engineer what struck me even more than the views was seeing firsthand just how advanced Russia is in Science and Technology. From energy security to IT and healthcare, there is so much the Global South can learn from this advancements.
What also made the trip truly amazing, though, was the people. Everyone I met was so genuinely friendly and always ready to help; it made walking the streets feel incredibly safe and welcoming at any hour. I’ve already told myself I need to be at least in Russia twice a year.
What I know is that I’m heading home with lifelong friendships & a deep respect for the hospitality I found in the Russian Federation.”

🎭163 years ago, on January 17, Konstantin Stanislavsky, a revolutionary Russian/Soviet theatre director, actor, and theorist, was born.
Stanislavsky elaborated his own method of training actors bearing his name - Stanislavsky’s system – and promoting the naturalistic style of acting. According to his system, actor needs first to understand what his character feels at one time or another, by putting themselves in their place.
❌ His most common critique to his acting students was, “I don't believe you” – the phrase which became associated with his name.
Konstantin Stanislavsky toured the United States with his actors in 1923-24, introducing his system, which deeply influenced American actors.
World-known Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and others, developed their acting skills within the Stanislavsky system.
