The Eleventh Kirillov’s Readings were held in the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve. Along with those participants who lived in Kirillov, reporters of Vologda, Belozersk, Ferapontovo, and Nikolsky Torzhok came to the conference. Among them there were employees of the museums and different cultural institutions, a student of the History Department in Vologda State Teachers’ Training University, and pupils – winners of the district stage of the conference “World through culture”.
The readings lasted the whole day with small breaks. Mikhail Sharomazov, director of the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve, noted in his welcome speech that not only adults, specialists in different spheres, but also pupils gathered in the conference hall. Presented topics were various. Employees of the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve gave reports about collections on the whole and separate exhibits from the collections in particular, iconography, and memorials of Kirillov. Pupils told about famous people, defence of the monastery and a traditional Russian doll. Viktor Kalachyov, student of Vologda State Teachers’ Training University, described the state of collective farms of the Kovarzino rural council during the Great Patriotic War.
The report about the artists G.E. Satel and A.S. Kalganova presented by Alexey Mokievsky, confessor of 
the Goritsy Convent of the Resurrection, was of great interest. Even if there is a resident of Kirillov who has never visited museums, he certainly knows the works of these famous people of art (Georgy Satel is a laureate of the State Prize of the USSR). Their pictures decorated the walls of the post office in the town once. But after the repair, there was no place for them.
At present we can say that the work of the Eleventh Kirillov’s Readings has not been completed yet: soon all reports submitted at the conference will be published in a scientific collected book.
