There is no need was not there. 2 In 1975 I enrolled in one of the technical university in Kiev. And for me it was quite natural that the teaching in the universities was conducted in Russian. I even question does not arise: why? I have all the previous life he was convinced that it should always be that way – well, that can not be otherwise. Now I understand that just for me, a Russian, this situation was a pleasant, comfortable, I am satisfied in all respects.
