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.
