The main objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the history and the level of research on biodiversity of myxomycetes in Russia. The first doubtless mention of myxomycetes in Russia dates back to the 18th century. Since then, numerous studies on myxomycete diversity in different regions of Russia have been published. Yu.K. Novozhilov summarized all accumulated data by publishing a list of 304 species in 2005. However, new data on species diversity, biogeography, and ecology of myxomycetes have been published in recent years. Recent research aims to fill this gap. This paper includes 321 sources, including studies published after 2005 and several works absent in previous reports. A full list of 455 myxomycete species found in Russia includes references to all literature sources. The analyzed database consists of more than 14 600 records in the "publication-region-species" format. Additionally, our research includes a detailed historical overview of the myxomycete studies in Russia. We hope that our information system, also available online at https://russia.myxomycetes.org/, will create a solid foundation for future studies of myxomycete biodiversity in Russia, particularly in the understudied regions.

From the point of view of the current state of the methodology of teaching a foreign language, mastering a foreign language occurs if the foreign speaker has developed communicative competence, the ability to solve communicative problems by speech means is formed. Even though the presence of linguistic and speech competence is considered as an intermediate link, the success of communication largely depends on the degree of formation of speech skills, their automation, which is developed by playing many situations using the appropriate speech models (Passov, 2010). During a pandemic, sometimes the only possible form of distance learning and the absence of a language environment become conditions that are fundamentally different from the conditions of communication, which further complicates the teacher's task to form the student's speech skills capable of transferring to the situation of real communication. In addition, the factors of repeatability of speech samples, the regularity of their presentation, so necessary for the automation of speech skills, can cause boredom in the student and even the desire to stop learning a new language for him. Thus, in our opinion, in a distant format, it becomes especially important for a teacher to make the process of teaching speech models at the initial stage of language learning as interesting, variable, and effective for memorization as possible. The aim of the study is to describe the most effective approaches to the formation of speech skills among foreign students, considering the disadvantages of online teaching of Russian as a foreign language.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
