Every department has its own heading (“AMF and EEF present...”) where weekly the dean of EEF E. A. Prikhodko and the dean of AMF V. E. Kostin try to represent the life of their departments as real as it is possible.
Subpaper “Ourselves” is released with a traditional motto: “School — today, Polytekh — tomorrow” with information for future students of VPI.
The essential principles of our work are tolerance, patriotism, democracy, humanism necessary for a really educated person!
In other words read and see! A newspaper is issued every three months with the exception of special issues.
VPI-Art
VPI-Art studio was founded in 2002 by Victor Feodorovitch Kablov, Aleksey Sinkov, Svetlana Korovina and Roman Titov.
The tasks of VPI-Art are video films production, news “100-TV” and others, video and soundtrack for PR activity and photo design. The main disadvantage is fluctuation of staff: students graduate from the institute... But on the other hand it may be considered as an advantage — our graduates are everywhere. Tens of them connected with VPI-Art in the past by just now have found themselves in good places for living.
O. D. Balbina, the head of the VPI-Art studio, vice-director, the head of the extra studies department.
