My name is Egor, I am 18. I study at the Faculty of Pediatrics, Sechenov University. I have younger siblings — I have been helping to care for them since childhood, which is why pediatrics feels close.
Since 2022 I have been running kugno.ru. The site started as a portfolio for admission to the medical-track class at School No. 2107, but gradually grew. Its main feature is primary sources: my own correspondence with ministries, direct requests to foreign universities, official responses, and analysis written on that basis.
Right now (2026) I am drawn to chemistry at its intersection with medicine — chemotherapy, synthesis of individualized drugs, pharmaceutical regulation. Everything I publish, I publish because I find it worth doing. If it helps someone else — all the better.
Six years of language-intensive study. The outcome: a B2 level used for correspondence with foreign universities, technical texts, and medical content in the original.
A deliberate move. Olympiad-level chemistry. The natural sciences have stayed with me since.
Laboratory microbiology and one of Moscow's most demanding extracurricular biology programs — by personal choice, not by school schedule.
Specialized medical curriculum. Field visits to the First Med morgue, the RUDN gynecology department, lectures at RSMU. I ran for Minister of Science in student government, was elected Deputy, organized school events. First serious research projects.
Russia's leading medical university. Year 1.
While preparing for the Unified State Exam, I reviewed the platforms I was actually using: Maximum Education, Examer, Prosveshcheniye's "Homework" service. Honest user experience — no promotional copy. Also: articles on the best chemistry textbooks, science-track classes in Russian regions, and olympiad preparation.
Over 200 letters in English to medical faculties and ministries of education worldwide. Official responses are published on the site. Each country gets its own page: admission requirements, tuition costs, admission conditions for Russian school students.
Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Portugal, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Japan
For each country: how to gain admission, how to get a Russian diploma recognized, real salaries, living costs, career path. Two articles per country — one on education, one on career. Three series: 16 leading European economies (32 articles), 11 Central and Eastern European countries (22 articles), 8 global English-speaking countries plus Asia (16 articles + comparison table). A separate thread covers nursing abroad — EU Directive 2005/36/EC.
Probably Russia's most detailed public resource on contract training for physicians. Requests sent to Ministries of Health in 85+ regions, with roughly 70 official responses received. Real salaries, housing conditions, settling-in bonuses (подъёмные), contract risks, comparisons across 11 federal districts.
Drug registration at the FDA, EMA, and EAEU; regulatory history from 1918; career paths for regulatory affairs specialists; a glossary of 130+ terms. Also: AI medical device registration, cosmetics and dietary supplement labeling, eCTD 4.0, veterinary drugs in the EAEU.
All three projects are published in full on kugno.ru — with drafts, process notes, and interim findings.
Three approaches to preserving life — from Egyptian embalmers to cryoprotectants and transplant immunology. Finalist at a Moscow competition. Published in 10 parts on kugno.ru.
Led a team of two: brainstorming, task distribution, KiberLeninka research, synthesis of results. Three parts, from problem statement to conclusions.
PDMS defoamers, composition calculations, process diagram, practical experiments with test tubes. Sources: Bloomberg and Rosnedra. Published in 11 parts on kugno.ru.
Chemistry at the edge of medicine: chemotherapy protocols, synthesis of individualized drugs, personalized medicine.
A drug's path from molecule to pharmacy shelf. EAEU, FDA, EMA. Eighteen articles published — systematic study, ongoing.
Training systems and physician careers abroad. Direct correspondence with universities in English — primary sources, not aggregators.
Pharmaceutical companies, medical business, healthcare entrepreneurship.
