Abstract: In an interview with the magazine “Two centuries of the Russian classics” director of the branch of the Institute of Literary Criticism of Janka Kupala of the Center for the Study of Belarusian Culture, Language and Literature of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Ivan Vasilyevich Saverchenko talks about the ongoing cooperation of his Institute with the IWL RAS since 2015, connected with the study of literary and cultural relationships between Russians and Belarusians in the 19th and 20th centuries. Ivan Saverchenko shows the uniqueness of the project, which, on the basis of archival and rare materials introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, makes it possible to recreate the entire historical panorama of national interconnections in its original form. In the interview, it is reported about the funds and archives investigated by scientists, about unique documents found in the process of work, about the personalities of writers, cultural and public figures, whose work was of great importance for the creative interaction of Russian and Belarusian peoples. Particular attention is paid to the presentation of joint collective monographs, scientific articles based on research materials, international scientific forums, conferences, round tables and scientific and practical seminars.
