The Administrative Commission for honoring the 50th anniversary of pedagogical and educational activity of X. D. Alchevskaya decided to publish a collection of articles by Christiyan Danilovna. The manuscript material at our disposal turned out to be so extensive that only a small part of it was included in the proposed book. We tried to vibrate the material in such a way that it characterized both the different years of Christian Danilovnn's life and the different sides of her activity, with the intention that in the end the image of this woman of a strong spirit and ardent heart would be drawn, who gave 50 years of tireless energy and hard work to serve the cause of public education.
