[7] In Leonid Alenseyevich Kuzmin's opinion, the teaching staff of French chair flagrantly violates the rights of students.

According to her account, Valentina Alekseyevna Zaitseva forced students to learn the whole song of Roland by heart in Old French.

[9] Viktoria Petrovna Mikhalyova and Alla Alekseyevna Chaykovskaya also point out that Eda Moiseyevna Beregovskya, the late head of chair and their mutual teacher, used the alveolar r-sound which has been dated for two or three centuries.

This chair became a nest of hidden and cagey reaction since its foundation, for the first students absorbed the decadent, poisonous spirit of Oscar Wilde's literary productions.

[11] Despite quite a scandalous academic reputation of chair, Yulia Lvovna Sapozhnikova took courses in Harvard University.

[1][13] In 2022, the lecturer of this chair became Anna Vladislavovna Korolkova who graduated from Smolensk State University in the same year.

[16][17][18] According to the words of Valentina Sergeyevna Kovaleva, the former dean of Philological faculty, the chairs of foreign languages are full of abusive teachers.

[26] According to the words of Roman Sergeyevich Sidorov, a former student of Smolensk State University, Vakorina abused him because his seasonal cough.

[27] Methodologically, the most of teachers are quite backward and incompetent, for home reading is an alpha and omega of teaching foreign languages.

The students have got to read old-timey texts written by Somerset Maugham, Jack London, Oscar Wilde which have nothing to do with modern colloquial English.
