Там чудеса: там леший бродит,
Русалка на ветвях сидит…
A.S.Pushkin
The lesson for the group of students from China has taken place at a museum. Together with the teacher of Russian they’ve visited Art Gallery "Doll's House of Tatiana Kalinina" where the exposition devoted to characters of Russian national mythology was presented.
Acquaintance with beliefs and customs, that throughout centuries have been presenting the important part of the Russian life, undoubtedly, will help the students learning Russian philology to understand motives and the images meeting in folklore products and in creations of A.S.Pushkin, N.V.Gogol and other authors better.

It is necessary to tell, that students looked all over doll figures and listened to the story of the teacher not only with interest, but also with admiration. For them it was opening of the whole world about which they hadn’t known anything before.
