1. What subject are we talking about?
The square shape of this object was established by the French king Louis XVI, issuing a decree on September 23, 1784. According to the order, “the length of this object must be equal to its width,” since the previous oval shape was very uneconomical. And the very first information about this subject dates back to the 3rd century BC. Even then, the Greek and Roman patricians used them quite widely. In the 13th and 14th centuries, this item was in great demand among Parisian fashionistas, turning into a type of fan. And very often this item was soaked in perfume. (Handkerchief.)
2. This is one of the most ancient drinks: it was first mentioned in a manuscript dating back to 2700 BC. It came to Russia from Mongolia in 1638, when Atlyn Khan sent 4 pounds of “this” as a gift to Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich.
The drink is prepared from the leaves of a shrub plant, but wild varieties are trees up to 15 m high. In China and Japan, “it” is also used as a seasoning for dishes, and in Burma for making salad. The fruits of “this” are rich in oil, which can easily replace olive oil. (Tea.)
Eastern wisdom: “Fresh tea is like a balm, left overnight is like a poisonous snake!”
3. Sketch (performed by children).

Dolgoruky. Why don’t you meet me and show me honor? Aren’t you inviting me, the Grand Duke, to the mansion?
Kuchko. I didn’t know, sir, that you were coming, so I didn’t meet you. I don’t call you to the mansions, because the old mansions were torn down, new ones weren’t built, we live in a barn ourselves.

Question: What happened to Kuchko? What is his fate?
(Boyarin Stepan Ivanovich Kuchko was killed on the orders of Dolgorukov as someone who had not submitted, and Yuri’s son Andrei took Kuchko’s beautiful daughter as his wife.)
4. Ivan I Danilovich, Prince of Moscow was an intelligent and very cunning man. He was known as thrifty, even stingy. He accumulated a lot of wealth. In his will he pursued a policy of not splitting up the Moscow land. Let the younger ones bow their heads before one, the eldest prince in their family. In his wills, Ivan Danilovich listed in detail all sorts of little things - silk and other junk (fabrics, clothes), every single precious stone. Before leaving, he explained to his sons and wife in which casket what was stored, and where the caskets were, and what seals they were sealed with, and where the keys to them were, and so on and so forth...

Tsar Bell and Tsar Cannon
At the foot of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower stands the famous Tsar Bell. It was cast in the Kremlin by foundry worker Ivan Motorin and his son Mikhail in 1733–1735. In 1737, a fire occurred in Moscow, which also engulfed the Kremlin. Due to uneven cooling when extinguishing the fire, the red-hot bell cracked. A piece weighing 11.5 tons broke off from it. After the fire, it was in a pit, and only in 1836, according to a specially developed project by the architect Montferrand, it was raised and installed on a pedestal.
The Tsar Bell is the largest in the world. Its weight is 200 tons, height is 6.14 m, diameter is 6.6 meters.
Not far from the bell there is an interesting monument of the 16th century - the Tsar Cannon. It was cast in bronze by the Russian master Andrei Chokhov in 1586. Its weight is 40 tons, length is 5 meters 34 centimeters. Caliber – 890 millimeters. In terms of caliber it was the largest cannon in the world. It was supposed to be fired with buckshot. It met all the requirements for military orders of the 16th century and was intended for the defense of the Moscow Kremlin. The carriage and the cannonballs lying near it are decorative, cast iron; they were cast in 1835 in St. Petersburg at the Berd factory. The weight of each core is 1 ton.
Everything in the Kremlin attracts: golden-domed cathedrals, shining with their domes in the sun, and ancient stones, turned into snow-white lace in the old days by master wizards. And, walking around the Kremlin, we, of course, admire the walls and towers that protected Muscovites from enemies. Here, every inch of land is the history of our people, and therefore, viewing the sights of the ancient Kremlin, we feel a sense of deep pride in our people, our state and our history
POETRY
1. You have no equal in the world,
Ancient Moscow!
The brilliance of days, forever glorious,
You will always be alive.
The city that Dolgoruky built
In the middle of deep forests,
Grandchildren lifted up lovingly
Above other cities!
Here Ivan Vasilich the Third
The yoke of slavery has been crushed,
Here, over a long series of centuries,
There was a source of our strength.
Here I found my obstacle
An army of arrogant Poles;
Here Napoleon had to
To unravel the fragility of happiness.
Here, as it was, so now -
The heart of all Rus' is holy,
Here are her shrines
Behind the Kremlin wall!
Here the paths cross
From all six seas,
Great people studied here
Trust your homeland!
Expanding, growing,
All in palaces and all in gardens
You are standing, holy Moscow,
On its seven hills...
You stand shining with gold
Immense domes
Over the east and sunset
The roof of the bells swells.
2. Moscow River, praise to you!
Over the centuries you have seen a lot.
Whenever you could speak,
You could tell me a lot.
You should tell us about
How did people start to settle?
Behind the tyn there is a tyn, behind the house there is a house,
Grew on your shore
The beginning of the future capital.
You reflected in the surface of the waters
That first Kremlin and the new city,
What did our Russian people build?
Under the first pine wall.
This is the first town
At the crossroads of all roads.
3. There was a terrible year when all countries
They were afraid more than fire,
Batu - grandson of Genghis Khan,
Cursing my proximity to him...
There was a terrible century when the Mongols
They went to Rus' like an avalanche,
On an autumn day across the bare steppe,
Trampling dry feather grass.
So it went like a monstrous stream
Mongol horde in Rus'
In one cruel desire
Burn and plunder cities.
4. In this memorable year - 1328
Muscovites for a reason
They gave the prince a nickname:
Ivan Kalita.
“Kalita” means a bag for coins,
And more precisely, there is no nickname for the prince!..
And from now on
The Khan did not send the Baskaks to their places for tribute -
Ivan Kalita sent his clerks.
And they brought all the goods not to the Tatars, not to the camp,
And to Moscow, straight to the Kremlin, so that he can decide
Prince Ivan -
What will suit the Tatars, what will suit him,
That the payment will go to those who need him...
So all the roads on earth led to Moscow.
The princes could not quarrel with Kalita.
Nowadays the princes cannot argue with Moscow -
After all, as soon as Prince Ivan assembles the shelves.
The heavier the yoke the people lift,
The faster the economy grows.
The richer Moscow is, the larger the economy,
This makes it easier for Ivan to reign over her.
And Moscow gathered cities around itself.
From now on the Horde considered only Moscow.
5. And here are the first hours -
Chimes of the Spasskaya Tower.
Huge millstone for beauty
Painted with blue paint.
The heavy dial creaks -
The plate is spinning
And the numbers glow like gold
Below the fixed arrow.
And the clock strikes loudly
Chimes over Moscow,
And the townspeople will know
Clock during battle.
We would all be amazed these days
The clock of the Spasskaya Tower,
And to our great-grandfathers they
It seemed like a miracle, a fairy tale.
6. Neglinka is fast and noisy
Spun around the city
At the Sviblova tower she
I became friends with the Moscow River.
Under this corner tower,
Which is still in place now,
Neglinnaya with the Moscow River
They always made noise together.
The management was not clever.
Both in summer and in cold weather
They dragged a bucket behind a bucket
Water carriers from rivers.
And with a yoke they went to the river,
And they drove up with a barrel.
A row of baths stood nearby -
The sovereigns held.
And here are the “thoughts” into that tower
They came knowing the science
And rose to the heights
Then the water is river.
Pumps, pipes, hoses
Adjusted, ready.
Mother Moscow can be proud
New plumbing.
To tell the truth, that water
It would not be enough for the city -
To the Kremlin and its gardens
There was barely enough water.
But in this smallness there is space
For the pride of the people,
And the Sviblov tower since then
They called it Vodozvodnoy.
FROM THE LIFE OF THE SLAVS
"Tactics"
The Slavs each went into battle with two small spears, and some had strong and heavy shields. They were also armed with a bow and arrows. Slavic warriors did not wear armor; in the summer, according to the Byzantine, they fought in only short pants.
In battle, the Slavs avoided open areas, preferring to meet the enemy in forests, gorges or cliffs; at the same time, they widely used the art of ambush, resorted to various kinds of military tricks, mastered many methods of fighting day and night, and were extremely skilled in crossing rivers.
The Slavs learned to hide well in the tall steppe grass, often unexpectedly attacking the enemy themselves and defeating even a strong enemy. They knew how to lure the enemy into the thicket of the forest by feigned flight and there, hiding behind the trees, they struck the enemies with arrows, the ends of which were sometimes smeared with poison.
Question: Suggest why the Slavs preferred to fight in the forest, avoided open areas and tried to lure the enemy into the forest or ravine.
Answer:
According to the Byzantine author, the Slavs as a whole did not have a unified command and were not able to fight in the correct formation. Of course, the Slavs, who lived in separate tribes, were not yet able to create a strong army with a unified military command, similar to the army of Byzantium. This can explain, to a certain extent, the military tactics of the Slavs.
"Dwelling of the Slavs"
Byzantine sources provide valuable information about the life of the Slavs. Our ancestors were slender, fair-haired, and ruddy. According to foreigners, the Slavs were distinguished by their powerful physique, tall stature, great strength and extraordinary endurance: they could endure heat, cold and hunger for a long time, they were content with the simplest food, and sometimes, if necessary, they even ate raw animal meat and fish.
The Slavs liked to settle in forests, near impassable rivers, swamps and lakes, in high places, so that their homes would not flood during spring floods.
The Slavs did not yet know how to build reliable dwellings - they wove themselves miserable shacks from brushwood, covered them with straw, just to shelter themselves from rain and bad weather. In ancient times they did not know how to make stoves and chimneys at all - they built hearths in the middle of the home, where they lit a fire, and the smoke went out into a hole in the roof or in the wall.
The Slavs sometimes built their homes with many exits. Belongings and supplies were usually buried in the ground.
Question: Suggest why the Slavs built many exits into their homes and hid their belongings.
The Slavs arranged many exits in their homes to make it easier to escape in the event of a surprise attack. The centuries-old experience of their ancestors taught the Slavs to store supplies in hiding places and use only what was necessary.
"Crossing"
In order to successfully fight the Slavs, the Byzantine author advises preparing cavalry and infantry, mainly lightly armed, against them, and preparing a large number of throwing weapons - not only arrows, but also various types of spears. The Byzantine also advises, if possible, to prepare material for the construction of so-called floating bridges, so that the crossing of rivers can be prepared in advance. After all, in the country of the Slavs there are many impassable rivers, the author points out.
Question: Guess what the author of the source means when talking about the construction of floating bridges.
“Fuck me!”
Almost until the end of the 10th century, our ancestors were pagans. Little information has reached us about the pagan faith of the Slavs. We know that the Eastern Slavs revered the thunder god Perun, as well as the god of the wind Stribog. The sun deity was called Dozhbog. The Slavs revered Veles, who was considered the patron of herds and therefore was called the “cattle god,” and others. In addition, the Slavs believed that in the forest (this is according to the very ancient belief of our ancestors) there lived a forest god - a goblin, in the water - a water god, in river beds - mermaids; They especially revered the home god, the brownie.
The Slavs, like other peoples related to them, thought that the souls of their dead ancestors did not leave their homeland. In the event of any trouble, they used to say in the old days: “Church, protect me!”
Question: Guess what these words meant.
Answer: The Slavs believed that the souls of deceased ancestors do not leave their homeland, which means they take care of their descendants, keep them from all sorts of troubles if they honor the memory of their ancestors. If not, then these household gods become restless and cause trouble. The souls of ancestors were listed under the name “domovoi”; they were also called “churs” or “shchurs”. This is what they used to say in case of trouble: “Church, protect me!”
"Bonfire"
The Slavs surrounded each settlement with a high log wall; the houses behind it were not visible. The huts were small, half of them went into the ground. The roofs were laid in two slopes with reeds or straw sheaves, and for strength they were coated with raw clay.
A watchtower was erected on the tallest pine tree in the settlement. They climbed it not by stairs, but by a pole with rungs. You can see far from the tower. If a vigilant guard noticed that unkind strangers were approaching the village, he immediately raised the alarm. A fire was lit on the tower and the neighbors were notified.
In a short time, all nearby villages learned about the danger, and people came together to repel the attack of enemies.
Questions: Why did they climb up to the watchtower using a pole with crossbars, and not a ladder? What should a signal fire be like?
Answer: The Slavs used a pole with crossbars, since it could easily be lifted up and hidden in the branches of a pine tree, the sentinel was like in a fortress. The signal fire was lit on a tower with the condition that it would produce thick smoke. It was the thick smoke that was a signal to neighbors about impending danger.
"Trade"
Novgorod merchants traded with Constantinople. They brought various goods there: furs, honey, wax, linen, yellow stone - amber, weapons, shields, jewelry.
First, the Novgorodians sailed along the Volkhov River. From Volkhov we sailed to Lake Ilmen, then to the Lovat River. But Lovat soon turned east, and the merchants had to go south. They had to drag the boats overland to the Dnieper. And the Novgorod merchant caravan sailed further down the Dnieper.
At the mouth of the Dnieper, where the river flows into the Black Sea, the Novgorodians camped to prepare for sea voyage. They set big sails and brought a lot of firewood. And the boats floated out to sea.
Question: Why did the Novgorodians need so many bundles of brushwood?
Answer: After the large sails were set, the Novgorodians tied bundles of brushwood around the sides of the boats so that they would remain stable on the water.
"Outstanding Commander"
Svyatoslav, the son of Prince Igor and Princess Olga, was a commander of great glory in Rus' in the 10th century. His campaigns, victories and deaths were known in countries near and far from Kyiv. His entire life, starting from childhood, was spent in the struggle with restless neighbors who threatened the eastern and southwestern borders of the Old Russian state.
The Byzantine historian left a reliable description of Svyatoslav in adulthood. After the battles on the Danube, Svyatoslav negotiated the end of the war with the Byzantine emperor Tzimiskes:
“He was of average height, not too tall, not too short, with thick eyebrows, blue eyes, a flat nose, a shaved beard and thick long hair on his upper lip. His head was bare, but only on one side of it hung a lock of hair... his neck was thick, his shoulders were wide, and his entire figure was quite slender. In one ear hung a gold earring, decorated with two pearls, with a ruby inserted in the middle of them. His clothes were white, nothing different from others except cleanliness.”
Question: Guess what the lock of hair hanging on one side of the head meant.
Answer: Svyatoslav’s head was shaved, and a lock of hair signified the nobility of the family.
"Dyeing Eggs"
The custom of painting eggs and giving them to each other on the spring holiday existed among the Slavs long before the adoption of Christianity.
A special ritual was first performed over the festive food, with the help of spells they imparted powerful healing properties to it. The Slavs, giving each other colored eggs, mutually wished them health, kissed, believing that this ritual conveyed to their loved ones a piece of the supernatural power that entered them along with the festive treat.
Question: Suggest why eggs began to be painted.
Answer: When organizing multi-day and crowded spring holidays, feeding various deities and spirits, the Slavs usually smeared the shells of eggs with blood, because blood has long been considered an exquisite delicacy for spirits and gods. This later became the custom of dyeing eggs.
"Cloth"
Negotiations between Svyatoslav and Tzimiskes took place near the river. The Russian prince was sitting on the bench of a boat moored to the shore, and the Byzantine arrived on a horse.
Emperor Tzimiskes wore gilded armor. Gilded harness adorned the horse. A large retinue shone with expensive outfits. The attention of the Byzantines was attracted by the hair on the upper lip, that is, the mustache, and the curl on Svyatoslav’s shaved head.
The Byzantines were also surprised by the fact that Svyatoslav did not differ from his soldiers in clothing, except for its cleanliness. Question: Suggest why Svyatoslav wore clothes that were no different from the clothes of soldiers.
Answer: It is no coincidence that Svyatoslav did not differ from his warriors in clothing. Apart from earrings with pearls and rubies, the rich prince did not want to burden himself with anything that could interfere with his camp life.
A harsh and simple way of life has always distinguished many famous military leaders. Long before Svyatoslav, Alexander the Great shared with his soldiers all the hardships of the campaign. Much later than Svyatoslav, Alexander Suvorov, even as an old man, slept on an armful of hay, covered with a cloak, and did not put on a warm uniform until his soldiers received winter clothes.
"In winter"
If it happened that the Slavs went into open battle, then with a cry they slightly moved forward all together. If the enemies could not withstand their onslaught, then the Slavs attacked harder, otherwise they simply ran away and were in no hurry to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. They were heading towards the forest, where they knew how to fight well.
Firstly, the Slavs have few food supplies; secondly, their winter clothes are poor; thirdly, in winter there are footprints in the snow. The Byzantine gives five similar arguments.
Question: Name two more arguments in favor of waging war in winter.
Answer: Fourthly, the rivers freeze in winter, and therefore you can easily cross them; you don’t need to have floating devices. Fifthly, in winter, trees stand without leaves, and therefore it is more difficult for the Slavs to hide behind them
"Rook"
One summer day, the Slavs went into the forest to look for a suitable tree for a boat. They walked through the forest for a long time. There are a lot of trees in the forest, but not everything is suitable for use: one is crooked, another is rotten, the third is gnarled, the fourth wryly.
In the evening we came across a century-old oak tree. We measured the thickness of the trunk, it turned out to be more than three girths. Using a sharp hatchet, they made three notches on the oak tree: two along the trunk and one under it - across it. The mark meant that it was they who would cut down this oak tree, and no one else.
Summer has passed, autumn has passed. Winter has come and snow has fallen. They cut down the oak tree, took it out of the forest and brought it to the village.
We started to get along with the boat. First of all, the oak was sanded: the bark was removed from it. Then they began to trim the log from the top and sides. Day by day the pile of yellow wood chips grew and grew taller than a man. Day by day the oak deck became more and more like a boat.
Then it was time to decorate the rook from the inside.
Question: Guess how the Slavs did it.
Answer: The Slavs lit a fire. When the fire flared up, they began to take hot coals out of the fire with a shovel and put them on top of the log. The coals were burning and the breeze fanned them. The deck was smoking from the hot coals. The coals burned out, leaving a scorched hole in the deck. The Slavs put new coals in it, and the log began to smoke again. So little by little they burned the boat out from the inside.
"For guard"
Years passed, dozens of years, the Slavs already owned the entire arsenal of the then heavy weapons. This was especially evident in 597 during the storming of the Greek city of Thessalonica. The Slavs now had siege engines, iron battering rams, and huge mechanisms for throwing stones. They also had so-called “turtles” - movable towers. These formidable structures slowly moved towards the fortress. The warriors placed on them were hidden by wooden barriers - shields. As soon as the “turtles” approached the fortress, the warriors jumped out of cover and, showering the defenders with arrows, took possession of the wall.
The Byzantines recognized that the Slavs, by the end of the 6th century, “learned to wage war better than the Romans” (that is, than themselves).
The weak point on the movable tower - the “turtle” - was the wooden shields that hid the warriors; they could catch fire.
Question: Suppose what the Slavs came up with to protect these shields from fire.
Answer: To protect against fire, the Slavs covered wooden shields with raw skins.
"Bathing"
Children suffering from dry fever are placed in a tree split in two by a lightning strike, then they are walked around the tree nine times and children’s shirts are hung on its branches. When returning home, the children are bathed in water taken from nine rivers or wells and sprinkled with ashes from seven furnaces. For fever and other illnesses, peasants bathe in rivers, forest springs and wells, and after bathing they wipe themselves with a clean rag and hang it on a nearby tree or broom bush; instead of a rag, they also hang a shirt or a piece of their clothing and leave it until they completely decay.
Question: Suggest the meaning of this ritual.
Answer: The meaning of the ritual is this: the patient washes away and erases the illness from his body, that is, he takes it off himself and, together with a rag and a discarded shirt, passes it on to a bush or tree as earthly representatives of that heavenly, paradise tree that exudes living water that heals all diseases. Just as a rag or a shirt decays, so must the disease itself perish. Later, with the loss of a clear understanding of ancient ideas, this ritual took on the character of a sacrifice to forest and water spirits.
"With myself"
Rarely can a person boast that he has seen a brownie. To do this, you need to put on a horse collar on Easter night, cover yourself with a harrow, the teeth on yourself, and sit between the horses the whole night. If you're lucky, you'll see an old man - small, like a stump, all covered with gray hair, even his palms are hairy. Sometimes, in order to divert prying eyes from himself, he takes on the appearance of the owner of the house - just the spitting image. In general, the brownie loves to wear his master's clothes, but he always manages to put them back in place as soon as the person needs things. If the owners love their brownie, if they live in harmony with him, then they will never want to part with him, even when moving to a new house.
Question: Guess how the Slavs transported the brownie with them.
Answer: When moving to a new house, our ancestors did this: they would scrape under the threshold, then collect the garbage in a dustpan and scatter it in the new hut, believing that the “owner” was moving with this garbage to a new place of residence. Just remember to bring him a pot of porridge for his housewarming and say with all possible respect: “Grandfather Brownie, come home. Come live with us!”
"Two Faces"
This Slavic god had two faces: one face was like the sun, the other was like a crescent. The priests of this god knew the secret, ancient sciences of counting days, months, and years. A great variety of different flowers were planted in front of the temple, which opened their corollas at different times of the day, from early morning to late evening.
Question: Suggest what this god patronized. His name? Why were so many flowers planted?
Answer: The Slavs revered Chislobog as the patron saint of the flow of time. One of his faces is like the sun because the sun measures the course of the day, the other face is like a crescent, for the moon measures the course of the night. The priests of Chislobog kept in order large sun and lunar clocks, which were dedicated to this mysterious god.
And you could find out what time it was by looking at the amazing flower clock. No one equal to them in beauty has yet been created.
POEMS
N. Konchalovskaya
Our ancient capital
Near Moscow, on the roads,
Among the forests and wastelands,
In the old days there was a lot
Monastery guards.
Monks have always lived in them,
They drank, ate, did not grieve,
The land gave them everything -
Vegetable gardens and fields.
Monastic grounds
Immediately visible from afar -
So full of fertility
From the monastic land.
Monastery wheat
It spikes taller than it grows,
Above the waist - oats,
Knee-deep haymaking.
And he works in the fields
Not a bell ringer and not a monk -
Farmers are plowing the field,
Serf men.
Everything is ready for the monk:
And from the fish catch,
And income from the beekeeper
The people are carrying into the monastery.
Cattle are raised for the monk,
Pines are cut down for the monk.
In a narrow monastery cell,
In four blank walls
About the land about ancient Russian
The story was written down by a monk.
He wrote in winter and summer,
Illuminated by dim light.
He wrote year after year
About our great people.
About Batu's invasion
He wrote at a terrible hour,
And his words are simple
Through the centuries they have reached us.
Poem about St. Sophia Cathedral
He stood here for a long time
Golden in the heavenly cool,
In the middle of the village, or near those market rows,
He stood here no worse
Than the main cathedral in Constantinople,
And he would maintain his posture in the camps of any cities.
He stood majestically, well-groomed by the people's mite,
And, like a white Archangel,
Rising above the sinful earth,
Both in winter and in summer, flickering in the foul weather.
He kept his watch like a faithful fellow sentry.
And on days of celebration he is like a bird,
And proud and free,
And he reigned and soared, not sparing his wings,
Kolokolny,
And a tail of colored chimes blossomed with might and main.
And he stood, constant, at every invisible
And he sanctified any delight with his voice.
And under his sign they were born here, loved,
And under his sign they left this sad pier.
POETRY
1. Your duty is: to preserve the laws,
Don't look at the faces of the strong,
No help, no defense
Do not leave orphans and widows.
Your duty: to save the innocent from harm,
Give cover to the unlucky;
To protect the powerless from the powerful
Free the poor from their shackles
2. While we are burning with freedom,
While hearts are alive for honor,
My friend, let's dedicate it to the fatherland
Beautiful impulses from the soul!
Comrade! Believe! She will rise
Star of captivating happiness!
Russia will wake up from its sleep,
And on the ruins of autocracy
They will write our names.
3. ...And we lived,
Like Christ in his bosom,
And we knew honor.
Houses with greenhouses, with Chinese gazebos
And with English parks.
On each flag played,
Played, beckoned warmly,
Russian hospitality and affection promised.
The Frenchman won't dream
In a dream, what holidays!
Not a day, not two - a month
We asked here.
Its own actors, music,
There's a whole regiment of servants.
There is no contradiction in anyone,
I will have mercy on whomever I want,
Whoever I want, I’ll execute.
The law is my desire
The fist is my police.
4. Go into the fire for the honor of the Fatherland!
For convictions, for love!
Go and perish impeccably.
You won’t die in vain: the matter is solid,
When blood flows underneath.
Believe in earthly Sunday.
In your descendants your tribe will come to life,
And my children are a holy generation
It will cover Rus' and flourish.
5. I know: destruction awaits
The one who rises first
On the oppressors of the people -
Fate has already doomed me,
But where, tell me, when was it
Freedom redeemed without sacrifice?
Prison is an honor for me, not a reproach.
I am in it for the right cause.
And should I be ashamed of these chains,
When do I wear them for the Fatherland?
6. Bogatyrs forged from pure steel.
Aren't you the decoration of our days?
Freedom sparks of fire?
Ryleev died like a villain.
So remember him, Russia.
7. It’s not the wind that makes noise in the damp forest,
Muravyov goes to a bloody feast...
With him the people of Chernigov go to stand in front of each other,
Lay down your head for Mother Russia.
And without a storm the strong oak fell to the ground,
And the traitorous worm undermined him.
The will-sun has set,
Deadly night fell on the battlefield.
Like a scolding horse stands on that field,
The young knight lies on the ground in front of him.
Horse! My horse! Ride to the holy Kyiv city:
There are comrades, there is my dear brother...
Take my last breath to them
And say: “I could not remove the chains,
It is impossible to survive sorrowful thoughts,
That he could not buy liberties with blood!..”
8. Believe in earthly Sunday,
In your descendants your tribe will come to life,
And my children are a holy generation
It will cover Rus' and flourish.

Working with dates
1. "Lotto"
The teacher shows a picture depicting a historical event, the students show the corresponding date. Or vice versa: the teacher shows the date of the event, and the children show a picture depicting the event. This work can also be done in pairs.
2. "Uha"
The dates are written on the silhouettes of the fish. The student “caught a fish” if he correctly named the event associated with this date. For a differentiated approach, you can make fish with one missing number.
3. Connect an event with a date.
4. Fill out the table.
5. Make up questions for the solved chronological crossword puzzle.
6. "Clean up the mess"
Two sets of cards are given - dates and events. There are two students at the blackboard. One needs to match the event to the date, the other - vice versa, since both have the same task - to bring dates and historical events into correspondence.

In the process of teaching history, a teacher has to face a lot of problems. Often the greatest difficulty for students is memorizing dates, especially in isolation from events, in the form of various kinds of chronological tables and dictations.
Meanwhile, although knowing dates when studying history should not be an end in itself, it is much more important that students understand history as a process. And yet, just as mathematics cannot exist without numbers, so history cannot exist without dates.
To make it easier to memorize dates, the date must be combined with the event so that students can start from something. To facilitate this work, I have developed entertaining history problems that can be used when studying the history of Russia in grades 6-7. The problems take into account not only the relationship between dates and events, but also the mathematics program. Moreover, the problems are structured in such a way that, without knowing the event, you can start from another, call on mathematics for help and solve. Having solved the problem, students develop an algorithm of action, a cause-and-effect relationship is revealed, and students can easily remember the dates.
Let me give you the following task as an example.
At this place at the mouth of the Neva, the outstanding Novgorod prince defeated the Swedes. And 463 years later, axes began to clatter here, and by order of the king, construction of a new capital began?
1. Which prince are we talking about, and when did this event happen?
2. By order of which king did the construction of the new capital begin?
3. When was the new capital founded, and what was it called?
4. What connects these two events?
This task will allow you to remember not that St. Petersburg was founded in 1703, but founded on the third anniversary of the Northern War, which Russia waged with Sweden for access to the sea. That the city was founded on the place where Alexander Yaroslavich defeated the Swedes in 1240, that St. Petersburg was founded not at the whim of the tsar, but by state necessity.
1. Alexander Yaroslavich (Nevsky); 1240 - Battle of the Neva.
2. Peter I.
3. 1240 + 463 = 1703, where 1240 is the Battle of the Neva; 1703 - foundation of St. Petersburg.
4. 1240 - battle with the Swedes; In 1703, the Northern War (1700 - 1721) took place, in which Russia also fought with the Swedes.
When studying the foreign policy of the times of Peter I, you can use the following type of problem.
The turning point in the Northern War occurred after the Battle of Poltava. It is known that both armies totaled 72,000 people. It is also known that the size of the Russian army exceeded the Swedish one by 12,000 people. Russian losses amounted to 1,300 people, and Swedes 9,000 killed and 3,000 captured. What was the size of the Russian and Swedish armies before and after the battle?
(X + 12,000) + X = 72,000
2X = 72,000 - 12,000
2X = 60,000
X = 60,000: 2
X = 30,000
(30 000 + 12 000) + 30 000 = 72 000
42 000 + 30 000 = 72 000
42,000 - the size of the Russian army before the battle
30,000 - strength of the Swedish army before the battle
42,000 - 1,300 = 40,700 - the size of the Russian army after the battle
30,000 - (9,000 + 3,000) = 18,000 - the number of the Swedish army after the battle
Having solved the problem, the Battle of Poltava will be etched in the memory not just as one of the battles of the Northern War, but, having calculated the ratio of both armies and losses, the guys will remember that after the Battle of Poltava there was a turning point in the course of the Northern War.
These tasks not only allow you to remember the years of life of historical figures, but also the type of their activities. In the process of this, preparation is underway for the Unified State Exam in tasks that include questions related to the suitability and type of activity of the individuals.
When studying the foreign policy of the times of Catherine II, it is appropriate to propose the following task.
The first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was in 1772, the third in 1795. When was the second partition, if it is known that the time between the first and second is equal to the duration of the Northern War. Which states participated in the partition? What was the result of the divisions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?
1700 - 1721 - The Northern War lasted 21 years.
1772 + 21 = 1793, where 1772 is the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; 1793 - second partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Along with Russia, Austria and Prussia participated in the division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceased to exist.
Having completed the tasks, students will remember once again the war with Sweden for Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea and will better remember the dates of the divisions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Tasks of this type contribute to the study of educational material, its systematization, generalization and analysis. And this will give more effect than simply memorizing dates.
