The article discusses a book titled "Classical Controversies: Reception of Graeco-Roman Antiquity in the Twenty-First Century," edited by Beerden and Epping. The book explores the reception of classical antiquity in the modern world, with a focus on conservative and alt-right appropriations of ancient sources. The editors aim to analyze the impact of these appropriations on popular perceptions and politics, as well as the role of academics in shaping these perceptions. The article highlights some of the essays in the book, which cover topics such as the misuse of Spartan tradition, the perception of Greeks as guardians of civilization, and the appropriation of Aeneas as a refugee. The authors suggest various strategies to challenge and debunk these appropriations, including re-evaluating outdated perceptions, engaging with the public, and educating teachers and students.

This article focuses on the concept of дружба (friendship) in the Russian language. Russian linguists pay special attention to this concept, since friendship is considered the nuclear value of Russian culture. Animated films for children are one of the types of texts in which the theme of friendship is central. In connection with their educational function, the study of their verbal component replenishes knowledge about ethical concepts. The subjects of the semantic analysis are the expressions with the word друг (friend) and its cognates, obtained from Russian animated films of 20th and 21st centuries. There are implicated semantic traits of the concept of дружба and their shifts. The conclusions concern both the notions of childhood friendship and universal values such as communication, joy, happiness, trust, help, protection, intimacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
