Abstract:
The presentation dwells on the interfaculty course Slavic World developed and given by the staff of the Department of Slavic Languages of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Regional Studies. The course was taught to all the students of Lomonosov Moscow State University, who showed interest in the topic. The course sees Slavic world as a cultural-language area, whose development was determined by two opposite trends: divergent (from one to many) and convergent (from many to one). The main focus of the presentation is on the series of lectures on Bulgaria, that cover dominant cultural and historical trends in the country’s development, interlanguage connections and the way cultural quest is reflected in modern Bulgarian language.
