At the forum, it was possible to exchange views with colleagues, the youth of the scientific circle on the geopolitical situation within the EEU, CIS, and around the world. It allowed us to consider the situation from different sides, especially with regard to Western sanctions against the Union State of Belarus and Russia. I'm thankful to the organizers of the Competition for such an important and useful large-scale event.'

Diana Shudel: 'It was the first time I took part in such a large-scale international Competition. I really liked it, I was surprised by the level of organization of the event and the interesting teamwork of young specialists from the CIS countries. For the participants, this Competition was as a test. Because to participate, it was necessary to submit an unpublished research work on one of the topics proposed by the organizers of the Competition. Then, at the forum, it was necessary to present a general work written in a team. When we started teamwork, we had to get out of the comfort zone, but it brought some intellectual enrichment. I really enjoyed participating in the Competition and I'm glad to become its finalist. I'm thankful to the organizers for such an educational event.'
