Meet Viviana Troya Jima, a Bachelor’s student in infochemistry who turned her childhood fascination with science into a pursuit of discovery and innovation.
Since I was little, science has fascinated me. I loved seeing how each compound has its own reaction, how colors change, how substances transform before my eyes. Understanding how everything around us works; from the water we drink to the medicines that heal us. Laboratories were my favorite place because I experimented, mixed substances, and observed unexpected reactions. Each experiment was like solving a puzzle of the universe.

Is Russian literature purely pessimistic? 😞 Not quite! 😌
Our local literature isn’t exactly a cheer-up genre – but when optimism appears, it’s earned and stubborn. Let’s meet some of its representatives and experience the hopecore of Russian lit today.
