"I've known about the competition for two years now. Last year I also participated and made it to the finals, but I couldn't go because I was attending a different forum. The Mediacode competition has always been attractive due to its demand—only popular science content is accepted. I've been filming a series of interviews with scientists for several years now. In the finals, we had to work in the forum's press service as part of our category. Mine was a video project, so I interviewed scientists for video commentary, filmed a report on the visit of Deputy Minister of Education and Science Denis Sekirinsky, and also conducted a press conference with him. I quickly edited the videos and submitted them for publication on the following websites: the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, NOS: Science, Education, Students, NOS. Science, and in the forum communities "Science of the Future – Science of the Young,"" said Ilya Bolshakov. Over 600 people attended the forum, including Russian scientists and researchers who won the Russian Ministry of Education and Science's mega-grant program.
