"The competition involved both regular participants and new names. It proves that the contest remains alive and well. The Gold Medal has proved one more time that all the best have gathered here," said Varenov.

Vitaly Morozov, Rector of the St. Petersburg State Agrarian University, also congratulated the participants. His academic establishment became a absolute winner of the competition by the number of medals. The Agrarian University received 6 of them (4 gold and 2 silver medals). A record number of gold medals (5 of them) was won by the Kuban State Agrarian University named after Trubilin.

In total, 99 gold medals and 16 silver ones were received by their owners. It’s nice that despite a tense political situation, a company from the Netherlands became one of winners.
