Siberian Federal University became my entire world after I turned eighteen: wise and dedicated professors, a spiritual connection with my friends from all over the world, and the enchanting beauty of Siberian nature.

I've come a long way at the university: from the preparatory course to my teaching experience.

SibFU has given me the opportunity to develop in various areas of my life: whether it's academic growth or the enrichment of my inner world.

This experience is priceless and worthy of my lifelong gratitude.

My story with Siberian Federal University isn't over yet: I'm currently pursuing a PhD degree and planning to become a teacher.
