Moral values of the Russian people as a subject of reflection by Muslims of foreign countries in the process of studying the universal textbook RFL

The problem of harmonizing relations between Russian and Muslim peoples from distant foreign countries is one of the most pressing international problems. It is also necessary to solve it in the practice of teaching the Russian language, starting from the first months of teaching Islamic students. In the first year of studying the Russian language, the Russian universal textbook of Russian as a foreign language is the main means of teaching Muslim students in Russia and abroad. Studying it, foreigners get acquainted with the lifestyle and moral values of the Russian people. However, surveys of Islamic students and teachers' observations show that quite often the Russian way of life and values are not adequately understood by foreigners or taken critically. Russian language teachers and the public in traditional Muslim countries offer various ways to solve this problem: educating students to have a tolerant attitude to Russian culture, selectively applying materials from universal textbooks of the universal Russian-language textbooks, creating and using national-oriented and religious Islamic materials in Russian. In the conditions of Muslim education in secular Russian universities, a Russian teacher must create favorable conditions for the moral values of the Russian people to be correctly understood by foreigners and positively perceived by them. To do this, he must know the peculiarities of the national and religious worldview of his students and take them into account when presenting the materials of the universal textbook of the RFL. On the example of a modern educational complex S.I. Chernyshov and A.V. Chernyshova "Let’s go!" the article demonstrates topics, situations, illustrations that can cause mixed reactions from Muslims and make it difficult for them to understand the values of the Russian people. The author emphasizes that the main task of the Russian textbook RFL and Russian teacher is to demonstrate the best aspects of the culture of the Russian people, to contribute to the moral improvement of the student's personality and the harmonization of relations between peoples. As the studies of sociologists of the last decade show, the traditional moral values of the Russian people, based on universal values, are significant at present for most modern Russians. Therefore, they should not be discredited in modern textbooks of the RFL, but should be comprehended by students in order to enrich them spiritually and harmonize relations between the Russian and Muslim peoples.
