Over its 126-year history, the Polytechnic University has acquired many symbols, many of which are now hard to imagine. The Hydrotower, the Main Building, the White Hall, the Grand Staircase, the Monument to the Eternal Student, the Polytechnic Park, donuts, the "Black Bears," adapters, and so on. Perhaps, in a little while, another symbol will emerge. And when the Polytechnic University is mentioned, people will say, "Ah, that's the university with the knights!"

The student role-playing club "Alliance" has recently become a prominent fixture in Polytechnic life. Knights and ladies attend university-wide events and organize their own. This is in no small part due to the active work of club leader Daniil Porozov.

What else do the kids in the "Alliance" role-playing club do? What are their dreams and plans? Why are today's youth interested in the Middle Ages? Read about this and much more in our interview with Daniil Porozov, a master's student at the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology, in the "Persona" section.
