ItemБрюсовские чтения(Лингва, 2016)On October 6-8, 2016, the XV International academic conference «Brusov Readings-2016» to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of «The Anthology of Armenian Poetry» was held in Yerevan. The conference was initiated by the Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages and Social Sciences with the support of the Graduates Association of the Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages and Social Sciences, the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan, the Union of Armenians of Russia and «Antares» holding. The opening ceremony of the conference was held on October 6, at 10 a.m., at the Conference Hall of the Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages and Social Sciences. The famous academicians and young specialists from Armenia, Russia (about 10 cities), the U.S., France, Czech Republic and other countries participated in the conference. In the course of the opening ceremony Gayane Gasparyan, the YSULS rector, the representatives of the RA Ministry of Education and Science, RA Ministry of Culture, the Embassy of Russian Federation in Armenia, the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan and the Union of Armenians of Russia addressed the audience.The following events were held within the framework of the conference: the presentation of the facsimile publication of «The Anthology of Armenian Poetry» and the official site of the Brusov Science Center, as well as a concert program. The participants of the conference visited Martiros Saryan House-Museum, the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex, and Oshakan (the guests visited Mesrop Mashtots’s grave on October 8, within the framework of the celebration of the Holy Translators’ Day). The tradition of the «Brusov Readings» goes back to 1962. During 50 years the conference was held not only in Armenia, where the center of Brusov Studies – Brusov Science Center at the Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages – is situated, but also in Russia. The «Readings» are usually arranged for the anniversary data. The current year’s date is crucial not only from the viewpoint of Brusov’s creative activities, but of the historical destiny of the whole Armenian nation as well. The matter concerns the publication of the monumental work – «The Anthology of Armenian Poetry from the Ancient Times till Today». Brusov was the first to unveil the ample poetry of Armenia and to disclose the enormous richness of multi-centennial Armenian poetry – a really challenging task. «The Anthology of Armenian Poetry» was published in 1916. 2016 is marked by the resurgence of the epoch-making publication. Its presentation was also held within the frames of the conference. 9 joint and specialized sessions were held during the conference: VALERY BRUSOV AND THE ARMENIAN CULTURE VALERY BRUSOV AND THE WORLD CULTURE VALERY BRUSOV AND THE WORLD CULTURE THE PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF VALERY BRUSOV’S CREATIVE ACTIVITIES
