The manager of the Program Lyudmila Sekacheva started her speech announcing a "minute of silence" in memory of the great representatives of the two brotherly nations Tolstoy and Gandhi. "These unique philosophers and teachers of Russia and India have shown us the way to our perfection, to a life without violence and cruelty, becoming preachers of the moral way of life. And the main task of the younger generation is to apply this knowledge every day, every hour, every minute, getting better every moment" the speaker said in conclusion.
According to the tradition of the baton of the Great BRICS Teachers Project, Anastasia Shkitina held the presentation, after which there was a lively discussion and a quiz with college students on the topic of Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi.
The theme of the spiritual and moral heritage of the two apologists of non-violence turned out to be close and clear for Indian students familiar with the main literary works of Tolstoy. The "Father of the Indian Nation" Mahatma Gandhi remains a moral guide for Indian youth, following, to this day, his humanistic postulates.
