ITMO at a Glance

St. Petersburg is Bigger Than You Think

The picture of St. Petersburg for some people is just beautiful buildings with old and authentic architecture, Nevsky Prospect, and the Hermitage, but there are more places that are worth your attention. I want to tell you about my most favorite suburbs that are actually now parts of our city. Lomonosov, Zelenogorsk… If these names don’t ring a bell, then I invite you on a journey to these amazing places.

How to Manage Studies, Work, and Personal Projects to Stay Sane and Kind

I find myself screaming "I don’t have time for this!" at people several times a day. It seems like someone vicious has stolen it from me just to see me suffer.

Deja Vu or the Ascent of New Ethics…

This all happened a while ago, sometime in the early 2000s. On the tram, I heard two young men talking about their buddy who had just placed second in a gaming championship in the US.
