Welcome to MSU Students' weblogs!

To Whom It May Concern:

I am proud to post here the links to my students' weblogs where they introduce themselves and the topic of their research. Please feel free to ask them questions, comment on their project work, and encourage them in their endeavor.

Group 1 (Sasha, Nelly, Olga K., Oksana) has embarked on a challenging journey of exploring the literary heritage of American writers, winners of Nobel Prize in Literature.

Sveta: Sorry, Anna Vladimirovna, but we haven't had our 'corporate' phote taken yet as during these 1,5 years it was absolutely unnecessary. And besides, our picture may spoil your image on the Web-site.

I just thought it would be nice to have the picture of your group on the weblog. If you don't want it, it's OK. Your picture can't spoil my image. It can only outshine it. :)

Sveta: Anna Vladimirovna, I was born and have always lived in Russia in a town 100 km north to Voronezh. Maybe you've somehow heard of Lipetsk? That's my home town in whose surroundings sunflowers are vastly grown.
