Image of Russia in Modern Chinese Russian Language Textbooks as Foreign

Abstract

Reformation of an image of Russia in the Chinese textbooks of Russian as foreign post-war time is considered, since a 1950th year and finishing with the 2017th. The conclusion is drawn from the transformation of a positive image of the country to negative that is recorded in modern manuals of China about the culture of Russia. The solution of this problem is a creation of new textbooks for the Chinese students in whom the positive image of Russia, the country with a rich cultural heritage which is carrying on interesting and constructive dialogue with other countries and cultures, including with great centuries-old Chinese culture would be formed.

Keywords: Russian as a foreign language (RFL); the image of the country; textbooks; culture.
