The article analyzes the experience of a study trip for Slavic students to Grodno (Republic of Belarus) as part of an international cooperation between Lomonosov Moscow State University and Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. The article highlights the potential of the cultural and historical heritage of Grodno and the Grodno region as a source for interdisciplinary research in the field of the history of Slavic cultures and interlingual interaction. The article examines the features of the interaction between Slavic cultures (primarily Polish and Belarusian) on the example of the biographies and literary works of Eliza Ozheshko, Adam Mickiewicz, and other cultural figures of the 19th and 20th cs. The presented materials on the cultural context of literary creativity of representatives of Polish and Belarusian cultures are based on information gathered during excursions and visits to museum exhibitions and acquaintance with historical monuments, which allows us to identify new aspects of the interaction of Slavic cultures. The article discusses some works that are not well-known to the Russian audience (such as “People and Flowers” by E. Orzeszko), and also contains a translation of Belarusian-language works by V. Korotkevich and R. Borodulin dedicated to A. Mickiewicz, which have not been previously translated into Russian. The article emphasizes the capability of using the presented materials in the educational process when training Slavists, as well as in the development of interuniversity cooperation. The article demonstrates the effectiveness of a complex approach to the study of Slavic cultures, the importance of museum collections as a source of scientific knowledge, and the potential of the Grodno region for further Slavic studies.
