The Chairman of the Federation Council highly appreciated the activities of the Artek teaching staff and presented the Certificate of Gratitude of the Federation Council to the director of Artek Alexey Kasprzhak and teacher of Russian language and literature at the Artek school Lyubov Kalinichenko.
In just over two years after Vladimir Putin decided to revive the Artek children's camp, large-scale changes have taken place here: high-quality residential buildings in sunny colors have been rebuilt, the school has been renovated, modern sports facilities have appeared, and new cozy dining rooms have appeared. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko spoke about the revival of Artek traditions yesterday at a meeting with pupils of the children's center.
Children in the full uniform of their camps - "Lazurny", "Lesnoy", "Khrustalny", "Rechnoy", "Yantarny", "Morskoy", "Ozerny", "Kiparisny", "Polevoy" - greeted the delegation of the upper house of parliament cordially. Then the ceremony of reviving the Artek bugle took place; now it will sound every afternoon in the territory of the nine camps that are part of Artek. Valentina Matvienko, Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva, as well as People's Artist of Russia Mikhail Turetsky sang the song "Sunny Circle" together, each group was given a gift from the Federation Council.
Matvienko noted “how prettier Artek has become, how it has changed.” “All conditions for learning, education, recreation, health improvement, and creativity have been created here for you,” she said, addressing the children. “Artek today has truly become the territory of a happy childhood.”
Large federal funds have been invested in the revival of the camp, and the country's authorities are ready to invest more to complete the construction of all planned facilities.
The sanctions that Crimea found itself under after its return to Russia did not affect the development of the camp or the interest in it from children from other countries, Matvienko said, answering a question from RG. Over the past two years, children from almost 50 countries have rested there, including from the families of fallen Syrian soldiers, children from the DPR and LPR, “who found themselves under blockade in terrible conditions,” the senator emphasized. “Children from Europe vacationed here. The sanctions, fortunately, do not affect the strengthening of children’s friendship, joint recreation and creativity,” she added.
This year, about one and a half thousand children from abroad visited Artek, said the head of Artek, Alexey Kasprzhak. “The last people I talked to were kids from Australia,” he shared. According to the director, children from other countries come to Crimea “who have an interest in the Russian language, Russian history, and participate in Russian competitions.” “Their families, choosing between politics and the interests of their children, choose the interests of the children. I think this is a good example of soft diplomacy,” he added.
Now there are more than 3,500 students at Artek, and in total this year they plan to accept 40 thousand people. According to Olga Vasilyeva, in the future it is planned to increase this number to 100 thousand.
Over the past two years, created good conditions for the education and health of children, noted the head of the upper house of parliament.

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 has become 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 the Government Russian Federation. A decision was made to develop the concept of 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 have been developed and approved to promote the Russian language abroad. 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.
Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, as part of a working trip to the Republic of Crimea, visited the famous Kid `s camp"Artek". The speaker of the upper house noted that after the annexation of Crimea to Russia legendary place transformed beyond recognition.
The entire infrastructure has been restored, buildings and sports grounds have been updated. What remains the same is that children from all over the world vacation in Artek, as before.
A forgotten tradition has been revived at Artek. Now here every day at exactly noon the horn will be blown. Valentina Matvienko took part in the first ceremony and handed over the instrument to the bugler. The revival of this tradition is a significant event for the children's center - a symbol of the revival of the entire Artek.
On the square in front of the renovated sports complex building, the emblems of all nine Artek camps are displayed. In two years they were completely repaired and rebuilt. The leaders of the center plan to reconstruct another building in the next few years and build a new solar camp with a capacity of more than a thousand places.
“In a very short time after the order of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, in almost two years, Artek has become so much better, has changed so much, a completely new, modern infrastructure has been created - for education, recreation and sports,” noted the Chairman of the Federation Council.
“It is very important that Artek develops, continues, and indeed federal funds are being invested very large, and here today is this “Artek” spirit. And even the transfer of this forge is very important, very significant. Because the forge has returned to Artek. I don’t I present “Artek” without a bugle,” said Russian Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva
No sanctions affect the work of the children's center and its international status. This year one and a half thousand foreign guests will come to Artek.
“Children from Syria, killed Syrian military personnel, rested here, children of the DPR and LPR, who found themselves under blockade, in terrible conditions, rested here. Children from Europe and from all countries rested here. And sanctions, fortunately, do not affect the strengthening of children’s friendship, children's recreation and creativity," Matvienko said.
This year, children from Syria have already visited Artek. And in the first summer shift, more than twenty schoolchildren from Donetsk are now resting here.
Valentina Matvienko at the children's center met with teachers from different regions of the country who came to a seminar on teaching the Russian language. During the conversation we also talked about the problem with teaching aids- There are a lot of publications, but parents and teachers have many questions about the quality of many of them.
“Many of them, unfortunately, are of a poor level, of poor quality without scientific substantiation. We need such a good line of Russian language textbooks that are verified, popular, attractive, scientifically based, etc.,” -
Valentina Matvienko, together with Artek residents, planted an alley of olive trees. The action was timed to coincide with Ecologist Day. The Chairman of the Federation Council, together with the vacationers, also laid flowers at the monument to Alexander Pushkin and presented the children with a complete collection of his works as a poet.
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 Russian President 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. 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 mid-March, Crimean authorities announced that Artek, previously owned by 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, there were 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 future fate 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 city federal significance Sevastopol.
