HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL

• Maxim Gorki Language school is a municipal
  school with 47 years of history. The existence of
  the school started in 1962 with the foundation of
  three eighth grade language classes teaching
  Russian language at First middle polytechnic
  school Ivan Vazov

3

• On fifth July 1963 the school became the
  independent Maxim Gorki Russian language high
  school, and from first September the same year,
  the gathering of the students began. The quick
  imposing of the school in the city educational
  life gave Elena Lilova an opportunity to found in
  1965 two factory profiles-trip in Russian and
  French.
• In 1966 development of the school and the
  quicken interest to foreign languages force
  differentiation of the French classes in separate
  school. 19 classes remained and the reception for
  8th grade is reduced at the expense of the newly
  opened French School. This did not interfere to
  the student activities.

• In 1983/1984 school year an early foreign
  language teaching was initiated. The School
  becomes school with Russian language teaching.
  The work with youngest first grade begins
• Since 1986 the two language schools Russian
  language school and the foreign language school
  use the building on street 62 Tsar Ivan
  Shishman. In first of September 1988 the school
  has been renamed to language school with teaching
  of foreign languages Maxim Gorki with two
  degrees of teaching early foreign language with
  reception from first grade and intense teaching
  of English, German and French for students after
  7th grade.
• In 1995/1996 school year an intense teaching of
  Spanish and Russian was initiated

Who is Maksim Gorky?

• Aleksey Maximovich Peshkov , better known
  as Maxim Gorky, was a Russian/Soviet author, a
  founder of the socialist realism literary method
  and a political activist.

6

• Maxim Gorky (also spelled Maksim Gorki) is one of
  the giants of 20th century Russian literature and
  theater, known for his realistic depictions of
  how terrible it is to be poor and oppressed.
  Gorky himself grew up in rough times and was a
  lifelong spokesperson for the underclass. His
  political activism led to several years of exile,
  in spite of his popularity with Russian readers.
  By 1900 Gorky was a famous literary figure,
  thanks in part to help from Anton Chekhov. His
  short stories and his first novel, Foma
  Gordeyev (1902) gave him notoriety as well as
  critical success, but his outspoken opposition to
  the rule of Nicholas II led to his exile to the
  island of Capri (1907-13)

7

• After the 1917 revolution Gorky's criticism of
  his friend V. I. Lenin and the Bolsheviks led to
  another period of what seems to be self-imposed
  exile, this time mostly in Italy (1921-1931).
• He continued to write, including plays such
  as The Counterfeit Coin (1926) and Yegor
  Bulychov (1931) and the novel The Artamov
  Business (1925). When Gorky returned to Russia he
  was greeted as a great Soviet hero and awarded
  just about every national honor there was. For a
  while Gorky had the reputation of "selling out"
  to Joseph Stalin's brutal regime, but the reasons
  for his return are unclear and nobody questions
  his sincere sympathy for the downtrodden. His
  death has long been a matter of speculation
  either he died of natural causes or Stalin
  ordered his murder.
• His other works include the plays Na dne(1902,
  also known as The Nether Depths and The Lower
  Depths) and Mat' (1907, also known as Mother),
  the book The Confession (1916) and a series of
  long memoirs that spanned pre- and
  post-revolutionary Russia.
