«In the beginning there was sport. I engaged swimming, then rowing. I always enjoyed watching doctors work in our sports team, but the desire to go to study in medical school arose spontaneously. After the first year it became clear that it is impossible to equally successfully combine medicine and sport, had to rest on my oars.”

«No one of my family members was involved in medicine. Perhaps that is why the process of finding oneself in medicine has not been easy. I walked the path of learning in students' scientific societies in the various departments of pathological anatomy to obstetrics and gynecology.»

«In the fifth year there was a meeting with the people at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, who predetermined my destiny and gave me direction in life. These people were experts in spine surgery Gennady Saldun and Sergey Mikhailov.»

«While studying at the institute participated in the creation of a medical student organization. And active work in this direction was marked by an international association, I received a grant for an internship at the University of Rome hospital. Also during clinical internship twice practiced in orthopedic clinics in Germany.»

«The fortune smiled on me and during difficult times of the 90th has received a personal grant from the American Orthopedic Foundation. Had been studying with leading American experts for 4 years. This played an important role in shaping me as a modern spinal surgeon.»

«When in the hospital there were numerous patients with spinal tumors I developed an interest in oncology. Here surgical principles previously learned have not worked. The key point was meeting with the luminary
of the national orthopedics Stepan Timofeevich Zatsepin and internship
at the clinic of one of the leading experts Jürgen Harms in Germany.
It is thanks to these people puzzle in my head finally formed, and since
2005 complex reconstructive surgery was engaged in R.R. Vreden Russian
Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedics.»

«In 2012, became head of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics North-West State Medical University named by I.I.Mechnikov. It is pleasant to see how former students and interns become competent experts.»

«Through participation in international forums for spinal surgery, there is a constant exchange of experience with the world's leading surgeons and improvement of existing technologies and as a consequence - good results and satisfaction with the work done. Such work requires some self-denial, and i cannot realize my dream for the past 25 years - to learn to play the piano.»
