The idea arose to create literary clubs in schools where children could get together, share an opinion that would solve this problem in many ways. In my opinion, literary clubs will not only popularize the Russian language, but also contribute to the preservation of native languages. It is planned at the end of the year to organize a rally of literary clubs on the basis of the KBSU»
