This review is devoted to the 20th anniversary of the scientific journal “Philological Class” (published by the Institute of Philology, Culturology and Intercultural Communication) and it tells about its history, conception and main sections. “Philological Class” is the journal that tries to combine practice of teaching Russian and Literature with the academic research in Philology. The idea of this journal belongs to N.L. Leiderman who was the head of the editorial board for more than ten years. The journal was supposed to be a regional publication, but became well-known in the other regions (Linguists from different parts of Russia and even from the foreign countries publish their papers in this journal).

Hypothesis” (discusses school educational programs in Philology, describes the USPU projects, approbation of the scientific conceptions and presents new approaches to literature), “Rereading Classical Literature” (the papers present new perception of classical literature), “From the Scholar’s Desk” (useful materials for practical application at school or university), “Slow Reading” (detailed analysis of a piece of literature), “Trajectories of the Modern Literary Process” (this section includes papers that discuss modern tendencies in Russian and foreign literature), “Educational Technologies”, “Getting Ready for Lessons”, “At the Lesson” (these section include papers devoted to the educational technologies of philological education, plans of lessons and new approaches to literature at school).
