flash carriage of New Russian Art
Moscow (March 1996). Several liters of alcohol have been shed, as one of Kathy's birthday guests proposed new pastime. In turn, each of the guests said a nice toast to their left neighbors. To my right sat Vladimir, in a previous life physicist who had blossomed into the young entrepreneurs.
"There used to be a German in my life that I appreciated more than any other, and that Bismarck," he began his small, very charming speech. On the same evening, "ie, before I met Karsten. Was" he made me an offer like that would have given me a "career" in Überschallgeschwindigeit, because if I had promised. Vladimir was in fact university rector and needed urgent reinforcement for the university, he had registered. was
mid-nineties it in Russia hardly a desirable teres paper as a business diploma. There was a huge shortage of economists and managers who at least understand a little of the laws of the market. The communist era were the best high school graduates engineers, economics was regarded as uninteresting subject for unworldly theoretician and future party cadres.
graduates even at the central bank
Because the state universities could not meet the needs of the economy had grown by professionals nor the rush of applicants who shot private universities, Academies and institutes such as mushrooms. Some tried to keep a certain level. Others struggled to not even a state accreditation.

Vladimir "Humanities University", founded as a non-profit organization, its business operation particularly brazen. She insisted that is only on paper. But there were still a number of students who paid fees for their not even held training. They received the equivalent student cards, study certificates - and diplomas. Need for such Documents, it was a lot, be it to simulate a non-existent during the interview study, to escape through the enrollment of recruitment into the army, or even to a student discounted the use of Metro. Friends were enrolled in vain, and that for each subject of their choice.
"My students are working even in the central bank," said the rector with pride. It seemed as if he wondered a little about yourself. I shudder at the thought of the consequences of the cessation of qualified workers could still have for the country. But Vladimir had for me a suggestion: "Tell me, will not you be my Dean of Faculty of Economics?" he asked suddenly. "You have such an honest face, which can be repeated one does not."
dean of a university. Actually not a bad proposal for a 21-year-old undergraduate. Obviously, the principal was tired of constantly falsify all the signatures themselves, the professors and their secretaries, and that of the Scientific Advisory Board at that.
search for Apostles
then I'm still a student and not just become a professor. Probably the whole thing could have ended badly. A few years later, the diploma trade in Russia was so difficult, that the business was not economical for Wladimir.
Since he already had a new idea. He said the fact that he would start their own religion. And was looking for his friends in future to strengthen the apostles.
