Our hero came to Russia in October 2010.” I didn’t know a word of Russian and I thought that Russians never smile. Students from Nepal met me in the airport. I was stunned when I first saw Moscow! I was very impressed by the different colors of the leaves on the trees- it was amazing! What I missed a lot was my usual food especially fresh mango, but we cooked various national dishes. Russians turned out to be very friendly and hospitable people”
In the near future RUDN Graduate 100,000 has serious plans - go back to Nepal, take a professional test, get a license and work. “After I will go to residency and later do my PhD”, he says. “I am dreaming of becoming a cardiologist in a state clinic in Nepal and later also teach at a university”
“A doctor should convince patients that they will win over the disease. The Russian diploma will help me save lives in Nepal”, Bhattarai Hari, RUDN Graduate #100,000.
