Director Ginzburg appreciated the decision to exclude "War and Peace" from the school curriculum in Ukraine

“We, for example, as a Russian society, can ignore Shakespeare.

But who are we hurting?

English?

Yes, we don't like them.

But what does world literature, world music have to do with it?”

Ginzburg said.

He said that Russian and European literature are very closely linked.

Earlier, Deputy Minister of Education of Ukraine Andriy Vitrenko said that Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace" would be removed from the school curriculum.
