On January 26, O.G. Kuzmichyova and E.I. Nikolaeva, employees of the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve, participated in the 20th district conference “World through culture”. It is held by the Education Department of the Kirillov District Administration in the secondary school of the town. Its participants presented research works in several directions. There were such sections as “Folklore and ethnography” (literary local studies), “Biology, bioecology, hydrobiology”. Our colleagues judged the participants’ works on the following subjects: “Living past” (study of local history), “Fate of Russia in the fate of fellow-townsmen” (archaeography). Most of them were about the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery, priests of the Cathedral of the Virgin of Kazan, rural parishes of the Belozersk district. The most interesting and topical works can participate in the next Kirillov Readings.
