Before the school year begins, schoolchildren in Krasnoyarsk will receive 3135 computers. This program was started – and is funded – by Oleg Deripaska’s Volnoe Delo Foundation. The “Computers for Students” program has been long active in Krasnoyarsk Krai and is finally making its way to schools in Krasnoyarsk itself.

On Friday, December 10, the ceremony honouring the winners of the Oleg Deripaska scholarship was held at Kuban State University. A total of 37 students majoring in science had taken part in the scholarship contest.

Companies from the Basic Element Group have decided to restore, at their own cost, several villages in the Volga Federal District that were destroyed by wildfires this summer. New houses and public buildings will be built for victims of the fires.

The first stage of the "Computers for Schools" programme, which is being carried out by Oleg Deripaska’s Volnoe Delo Foundation, has been launched successfully in the Kholmogory District, Arkhangelsk Region. Four schools in the district – Yemetskaya, Lomonosovskaya, Kholmogorskaya and Lukovetskaya – have joined the Project.
