The first presentation of popular science publication Book 1: I Understand That Times Change. 16th-18th Centuries took place at the grand hall of the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Chisinau.

They also said the book was meant to provide historical background for readers and enthusiasts of Russian literature.
The presentation was hosted by Tatiana Mlechko, project coordinator, professor, Rector of the Slavonic University of Moldova and Chairperson of MOPRYAL, and Viktor Kostetsky, the Center’s Director of Educational Programs.
Teachers, language experts and historians discussed the timeliness of the book and noted its importance with regard to teaching youth about history. They exchanged opinions on the book and expressed their wishes about the upcoming second book.
