Director of the Art School, Vladimir Tumbakov, had a part in the award ceremony, where he admitted that the participation in that interesting creative Rosatom project has become a real event for the school: “This was a very special contest. A warm, kind creative windstorm has passed through the corridors. Everybody was involved: both children and adults. They crawled on the floor, glued something, tore paper – they took a dive into the process with total efficiency. We would like very much that such contests were held more often in Balakovo.”
