School of Journalism opened in South Ossetia

A journalism school organized with the support of the Moscow State 

University History Department ha started in the South Ossetian capital 

Tskhinvali. More than 40 journalists from South Ossetia will participate during 

three days in training sessions organized by leading media 

experts, including well-known television journalist Alexander Sladkov, 

Vice President of CROS Olga Peskov and veteran of military journalism 

Viktor Litovkin. 

Along with training for journalists in the South Ossetian media, there are 

other forms of human communication, for example, history lessons in secondary 

schools in the city of Tskhinvali, organized by 

young teachers Sergey Rekeda and Daria Lyalyulina. 

This is not the first experience of such schools in the Caucasus 

region, but it is the first time the event has been organized in such close 

contact with the History Department. Head of the Department Sergei 

Karpov sent a written greeting to the rector of the South Ossetian State 

University, proposing to develop bilateral cooperation in the field of 

education. 

The great interest in the school on the part of young journalists once again 

attests to the special treatment in South Ossetia accorded to Russian guests. 

Without exception, all the participants in the meeting noted a lack of 

professional communication, which largely prevents the formation of a 

clearer image of Russia in South Ossetia and of South Ossetia in 

Russia.
