Good wishes to the students sounded from Alexander Dmitrievich Beglov. "You are continuing the cause of those educated women, which was laid down by Catherine II. They glorified our city, our country, and became famous around the world. You are our pride and our future. What is the Investigative Committee famous for? - The most important thing: justice and the protection of ordinary citizens from any kind of encroachment. And you will also be the future defenders", - said the governor of St. Petersburg.

The director of the boarding house noted that 86 girls joined the family this year.
