Exactly that kind of childhood filled with love and gratefulness to nature resulted in boy’s entering the faculty of fruit and vegetable science (now the faculty of gardening and landscape architecture) in Russian State Agricultural University of K.A. Timiryazev. The girl got her education on the faculty of biology and soil in RSU.
A young man was an honour graduate of the university, received his specialty as a scientist of agronomy being brilliant at the thesis defense under the topic: “The reconstruction of historic flower gardens in the park of the Estate Museum “Arkhangelskoye”. The young girl received a Scientific Degree: Ph.D. in Biology.
A rather sad condition of science made young people from opposite parts of Russia feel a bit discouraged. A real flair to the lifework and love to nature clashed against the necessity of earning a living. The young girl left for business, the young man tried himself in fitness.
