Mikhail Mishustin takes part in New Knowledge educational marathon I am delighted to have this opportunity to participate in the educational marathon. I would like to thank the Znanie Society for hosting such an event. It is an important part of the large-scale educational campaign pursued by the organisation for many years. Our President pays special attention to this work. The Znanie Society played a major role in my life, too. It was with its assistance that the International Computer Club was set up over 30 years ago, where I began working while I was still a university student. And before that, also as a student, I worked part-time writing reviews of popular science books published by the same Znanie Society.
