I am glad to have the opportunity to meet on the platform of such a wonderful university, which this year celebrated its 85th anniversary. Alexander Pavlovich, I personally want to thank you and your team for such a warm welcome.

This is not the first time Pyatigorsk State University has become a platform for summarizing the results of the year and planning priority tasks in the field of preventive work.

This work is of particular importance today in the context of counteracting undesirable processes in the youth environment.
