I even envy you a bit, because all your life is ahead of you and all roads are open. I am glad to congratulate you on your victory. I would like to note that the largest number of winners are from VolSU," Sergey Pulinets commented.

The students were also congratulated by Rector Alla Kalinina.

Your knowledge and desire to prove yourself is a confirmation of the student motto 'There's a lot that I can do, because I am from VolSU'," the rector stressed.
