Hello
I’m Egor Kugno, a 9th grade student of the HSE Distributed Lyceum.
In preparation for my project on pharmaceuticals I have written to several directors of pharmaceutical companies in Russia,
and from the answers of the respected directors it became clear to me that now it is better to get a quality education abroad, because in Russia
there are simply no areas of industry (for example, in fact there is no chemical synthesis of substances for pharmaceutical production)
And, accordingly, there are no specialists who can teach it.
I am still considering such education (if it will be possible), but my dad pointed out that now it is impossible to pay for
study abroad, and it is impossible to transfer money for the life of the student because of the sanctions.
Researching the issue I learned that in the eastern regions of the world there is an informal system of money transfers-Havala.
Please tell me if we have something similar in Russia?
It would be wonderful if my father could send money to the account of the Ministry of Finance- and me at the consulate of the country where I will study
(Germany or Italy as an example)-given me cash.
This would have solved the problem of tuition and the actual cost of living.
In addition, this would facilitate closer communication between students studying abroad and representatives of the Russian diplomatic corps,
which is useful in and of itself, as well as providing objective information about the situation.
In general, if there is no such system, would you please create one?
Thank you .
Regards,
Egor Kugno
