The words about patriotism were spoken with special awe and pride.

Alexei Talay, Paralympian, founder of a charitable foundation:

“We need to explain to teenagers the importance of participation in all processes of life, society. And, of course, send their eyes to the future: who will I be? Right now the kids should already be thinking about this. After all, in the near future they will have to work for the country, to protect our homeland.”

There are more than 500 boys and girls at the college. Teenagers with special developmental needs are trained here along with others. They master the professions of shoemakers, computer operators, hairdressers.
