Why a mining engineer needs literature: Zachar Prilapin continued his series of lectures at the Mining University in St. Petersburg of Empress Catherine II, a series of large-scale meetings with the writer, philologist, public figure, board of trustees of the non-governmental organization "Union of the Fathers" Zachar Prilapin, who this year headed the Institute for Contemporary Literary Worldview. Over the course of two days, the publicist gave five lectures on Russian literature and literature, manners, media education and the Ukrainian issue. Similar meetings will continue to take place every month until the end of the school year; They are intended for students in a wide range of courses and specializations, as well as postgraduate students. As Prilepin himself announced, it will be a big holistic conversation about Russia, its history, culture and modernity, about how the past is reflected in the present. The format is varied: assembly lectures, open dialogues, film screenings. Depending on the specific topic, large-scale as well as more intimate events are planned for a limited audience, so that it will be more convenient to exchange opinions and even debate. One of the events was dedicated to the history of the Russian language and literature. Perilpin immediately explained why talking about it is as important for future engineers, managers and economists as studying mathematics and physics. A person thinks and speaks in the language created by the literature of his homeland, and from his childhood he absorbs concepts of honor, respect, homeland and past of his country. Only countries with a rich culture are able to develop advanced science. This relationship may not always be clear or easy to analyze mathematically or graphically, but it certainly exists. There are no exceptions. Interesting fact: Yuri Gagarin knew Sergei Yesenin's poem "Anna Sangina" by heart. Maybe this is the connection with his great achievement. Even listening to the interview of the first cosmonaut, it is already clear that he was a man of Russian culture, - noted the lecturer.
