“The Scarlet Sails”: 100-Year Anniversary

On November 23, 2022, the Regional Competition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the first publication of Alexander Green’s work “The Scarlet Sails” was held at the Kazakh-American Free University.

The magic word of Alexander Green still captivates readers. “The Scarlet Sails” entered the national cultural code. And even if someone has not read the book itself, they still remember the girl Assol, who believed that one day a beautiful and brave prince would sail for her on a ship with scarlet sails. This is a book about the fate of a creative person in a philistine environment. Both Arthur Gray and Assol are “not of this world”, they are real romantics, creative people, internally free, able to ignite the hearts of others, if they are not yet completely ossified in satiated indifference. So this is a book about love at first sight.

The competition was opened by the hostess of the event – Svetlana Polupanova (1st year, EP “Russian Language and Literature”). First Vice-President Zhasulan Baykenov made a welcoming speech, wishing all the participants success and thanking them for participating in the competitions and events of our university. The co-organizer of the competition was the East Kazakhstan Linguistic Center of the Culture Department of the East Kazakhstan region.

The final report “The Scarlet Sails Motive in Literature and Cinematography” was presented by Victoria Suzdal (1st year, EP «The Russian Language and Literature»). Amalia Bubnova (1st year, «The Russian Language and Literature») presented the creative component of the competition in the form of an author’s poem.

Participants of the competition presented materials in two categories – “Reports and Presentations” and “Author’s Poem”.
