"Participation was useful from the standpoint of assessing WRC by an objective commission at the all-Russian level. My scientific director, Tatyana A. Pustovalova, supervised all my scientific activity from the 3rd year of the Bachelor's program. Tatyana Alexandrovna not only edited the final text of the paper, but she was also an ideological inspirer from the moment she came up with the topic until the presentation was made. Any step of my graduate thesis, including participation in this contest, was passed together with the scientific supervisor. Tatiana Alexandrovna still helps me in scientific work, professional development, and our cooperation is very important for me".
