  …I am right now in a perfect spot to observe globalization in action, working at the international office of ITMO as an intern.

  …ou can sit to read something or to get out of your room to think more clearly.

• TOGETHER, WE RISE

  …this motherland and those of us who have been received with open arms, came together with heavy hearts to honor those who passed away and praise those who bore the fear to jump into action in such a sudden event, as well as lend a hand in whatever way possible.

• University Life Goes Beyond the Campus

• Every story has an ending, but in life endings are new beginnings

  …Russians — and of course, a handful of snowmen and snowball fights; the sun finally arose, and the trees began getting green as the days passed. The weather was pleasant and new attractions came in sight: the amusement park on Krestovskiy Island, skating and biking on the streets and so on. The outside of the city is also a big attractio

Unlike organic elements, these matrices are resistant to chemical interaction with bio molecules of organisms, and their mechanical strength is very high.
