As stated in the application of the Foundation: “The program“ Distribution of a series of children's educational benefits «Russian Virtues» among Russian foreign communities ”was prepared by the Center for International Cooperation of the Interregional Public Foundation for the Formation of Russian Historical Consciousness «Nexus of Generations».

The goal of the Program is to contribute to the preservation and strengthening of the cultural community of Russian foreign communities with historical Russia.

Raising children in contemporary families of Russian communities abroad faces a number of objective limitations in terms of their upbringing in the Russian national tradition. The transition of a number of foreign countries from Cyrillic to Latin, state programs of primary support for national languages, poor development of Russian-language printing, a minor place given to Russian cultural and historical subjects in the local media — all this leads to the fact that children of Russian pre-school communities (from 4 up to 7 years) get about the Russian culture is clearly insufficient understanding. As a result, their spiritual connection with historical Russia reduced to an unacceptable level.”

The program designed for a three-year implementation period (2018-2020). During 2018, it is planned to do the following:

-- collection of applications for the «Russian Virtues» series from representatives of Russian communities abroad;

- formation of the methodology for using the Series in the home and collective upbringing of children of pre-school age of Russian foreign communities, taking into account the specifics of countries and regions;

- Organization of training of this methodology by the specialists of the Fund of Interested Persons (parents, teachers, educators, etc.) of Russian communities abroad through free webinars, video conferences, etc.;

- Popularization of the Series in foreign mass media (media, social networks, etc.).

The methodology of the series based on the use of small forms of Russian children's folklore (proverbs, riddles, fictions, nursery rhymes, jokes, patters, ditties) for the education of children in the paradigm of Russian national culture. Its uniqueness is. That all the pictures made in the genre of "Russian popular print.

The series is a new word in preschool education and uses small forms of Russian children's folklore in a comprehensive and systematic way. The performance of the series in the Russian Lubka genre makes it a unique object that our parents have been waiting for a long time, because they have been longing for Russian visual images that well known to them from their childhood.
