Speech by V. Matvienko before Russian language teachers at the Artek International Children's Center

Valentina Matvienko inspected the residential buildings and sports infrastructure of Artek, visited buildings for children with disabilities.

“Over the past two years, good conditions have been created for the education and health of children. The children had the opportunity to discover their talents and find friends. Artek became the territory of a happy childhood,” she said.

The Chairman of the Federation Council met with Russian language teachers - guests and participants of the seminar “Factors for successful mastery of the Russian language: integration of general and additional education resources”, held as part of the Third International Livadia Forum. The head of the Federation Council congratulated those present on the upcoming holidays - Pushkin Day in Russia and Russian Language Day, thanking them for introducing young Russian citizens to the achievements of Russian literature and Russian culture.

“You are all doing great and very important work,” she said, noting that the Russian language is the unifying principle of our people.

Valentina Matvienko reminded that the Decree of the Head of State on the Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy defines the key directions for the development of the Russian language and domestic literature. The federal target program “Russian Language” for 2016–2020 is being successfully implemented. Russian language councils have been created under the President and Government of the Russian Federation. A decision was made to develop a concept for state language policy; on the initiative of the President of Russia, the Society of Russian Literature was founded, headed by His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill. In order to implement the National Strategy for Action in the Interests of Children, the Concept for the Development of Additional Education for Children was approved.

The head of the Federation Council noted that every year in the Russian Federation All-Russian Olympiads for schoolchildren in Russian language and literature are held. The process of updating training programs and schools themselves is underway. The President's May decrees aimed at increasing teachers' salaries are being implemented.

“Taking into account the role of the Russian language in deepening integration processes, conceptual documents on promoting the Russian language abroad have been developed and approved. In particular, projects such as the International Pushkin Competition for Russian Language Teachers are being implemented,” she emphasized Valentina Matvienko.

At the same time, she drew attention to a number of serious problems. There is still a shortage of Russian language teachers in the country. Especially in rural areas. Regional authorities should pay more attention to the issue of attracting and retaining personnel in rural areas and ensuring appropriate conditions, the head of the Federation Council believes.

“We must not forget that our native language is a living organism that is constantly developing. The educational environment must also be improved. The modern generation of teachers needs updated training programs, teaching aids and appropriate working conditions,” noted Valentina Matvienko.

She also named the excessive abundance of textbooks on the Russian language as a pressing problem, many of which frankly do not stand up to criticism. It’s time to create a line of high-quality, attractive, scientifically developed school textbooks in the Russian language for Russian schoolchildren, believes the Chairman of the Federation Council.

She added that the resources of the general education system alone are not enough for successful mastery of the Russian language. Additional education should be a great help in this process. “Today we also lack a serious, large-scale project. For example, such as the Quantorium technology parks. The creation of such a multi-level system of extracurricular work in the humanitarian field will help identify and develop children’s literary and philological talents.”

In her opinion, the experience of the Artek International Children's Center is very indicative in this regard. The center is extremely popular not only among Russian children. Almost every shift, teenagers from different countries of the world relax here. Children can study in children's art studios, sports sections and specialized teams, and participate in a variety of educational projects. It is especially pleasant that in this work much attention is paid to the Russian language and literature,” she emphasized Valentina Matvienko.

V. Matvienko, O. Vasilyeva and A. Kasprzhak about the International Children's Center "Artek"

According to the Chairman of the Federation Council, Artek has its own scientific and pedagogical school. The synthesis of traditional and innovative teaching methods made it possible to create a modern education system, adapted to the needs of the time and aimed at the future.

The Chairman of the Federation Council paid special attention to the Artek school and its wonderful staff. “The creative atmosphere created here allows us to conduct classes not only at desks, but also to use the full potential of Artek in the learning process. We must strive to ensure that all children in the country can study in such conditions. It is imperative to disseminate the experience of Artek in the regions,” noted Valentina Matvienko.

The Chairman of the Federation Council visited the transformed buildings and canteens of Artek and highly appreciated the work done in the camp.

On June 5, Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko visited the Artek international children's camp. “How prettier he has become, how he has changed,” noted the politician.

To revive the camp after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, 10 billion rubles were allocated from the country’s federal budget, which significantly changed its appearance. Residential buildings have been rebuilt, the school has been renovated, new sports grounds have appeared, infrastructure has been improved and beaches have been developed.

New cozy dining rooms have also appeared, more like modern cafes with bright decorations. In them, children are fed five times a day, and the meals are organized according to the buffet principle: vacationers themselves choose what dishes they want. There are also more vegetables and fruits in their diet, due to which the average daily calorie content has increased by 20-25%.

Interest in the camp from teenagers from other countries continues. The head of Artek, Alexey Kasprzhak, said that this year about one and a half thousand children from abroad have already visited here. “The last people I talked to were kids from Australia,” he shared. Children from all over Europe, Syria, DPR and LPR rest here. Together with them, there are currently more than 3.5 thousand pupils in the camp, and in just one year it is planned to accept 40 thousand people.

Together they study in children's art studios, sports sections, specialized teams and educational projects. “It is especially pleasant that in this work much attention is paid to the Russian language and literature,” emphasized Valentina Matvienko.

After the excursion, she summed up: “We looked at what buildings the guys live in and how they eat. There is no better international children's center in the world. Both in scale and in content of the work. There is a team of wonderful counselors and educators here.”

She also addressed the camp students: “All conditions for learning, education, recreation, health improvement, and creativity have been created here for you. “Artek” today has truly become the territory of a happy childhood.”

The focus of the visit is an assessment of the implementation of the Artek Development Program approved by the Russian Government, including the results of infrastructural transformations and the content of the activities of the children's center.

The boy with the bugle, as one of the symbols of Artek for many decades, from this day on will continue the mission of cohesion and unity of Artek residents of all generations.

“The Artek horn is more than a musical instrument. Its sounds are a call for friendship, for unity, for creation. I am glad that now every day at 12 o'clock the bugle will sound. Take care of the traditions of Artek! – addressed the modern Artek residents in a welcoming speech Valentina Matvienko.

Then the Chairman of the Federation Council inspected the residential and educational buildings, the sports infrastructure of Artek, and visited places where children with disabilities live. Guests took part in the “Let’s Green Artek Together” event in an ancient olive grove.

“What I saw amazed me. In a very short time, in two years, Artek has improved and changed so much. A new modern infrastructure for education, recreation and sports has appeared. "Artek" is landscaped. We looked at what buildings the guys live in and how they eat. There is no better international children's center in the world. Both in scale and in content of the work.

NOVO-OGAREVO, March 27 – RIA Novosti. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko proposes to give the Artek camp, located in Crimea, the status of an International Presidential Children's Center.

“We believe that it (Artek) should maintain its uniqueness as a center for interethnic communication between children of the CIS countries, non-CIS countries and, of course, our best children, where we can prepare future leaders from them,” Matvienko said at the meeting of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin with the Council of the Upper House.

According to the speaker, she proposed to assign Artek the status of the Presidential International Children's Center. Matvienko asked the president to consider this proposal.

"Artek" was created in 1925, and now it houses 10 children's health camps on 208 hectares, of which 102 hectares are parks. The coastline with children's beaches stretches for 7 kilometers. "Artek" was given the status of an international children's center under the auspices of UNESCO. In one shift, Artek receives about 3.6 thousand children, and over the course of a year - more than 30 thousand.

In mid-March, the Crimean authorities announced that Artek, which previously belonged to Ukraine, would be nationalized by Crimea.

A political crisis erupted in Ukraine at the end of November 2013, when the Cabinet of Ministers announced the suspension of the country's European integration. Mass protests, called "Euromaidan", took place throughout Ukraine and in January resulted in clashes with law enforcement agencies. The result of street battles, during which the opposition repeatedly used firearms and weapons, resulted in dozens of casualties.

On February 22, a violent seizure of power took place in the country. The Verkhovna Rada, breaking between President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders, changed the constitution, changed the leadership of parliament and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and removed the head of state from power, who was subsequently forced to leave Ukraine, fearing for his life. On February 27, the Ukrainian parliament approved the composition of the so-called “government of people's trust”, Arseniy Yatsenyuk became prime minister. Speaking the next day at a press conference in Rostov-on-Don, Viktor Yanukovych said that he remains the legally elected head of state.

A number of regions in the east and south of Ukraine, as well as Crimea, did not recognize the legitimacy of the Rada and decided on the possibility of holding referendums on the future fate of the regions. In Crimea, a referendum on the status was held on March 16; according to its results, 96.77% of voters who took part in the voting were in favor of the republic joining the Russian Federation. On March 18, Russia and Crimea signed an agreement on the entry of the republic and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation. On March 21, the President of Russia signed the law on the ratification of the treaty and the federal constitutional law on the formation of new entities in the Russian Federation - the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol.
