Open festival of youth art ”Ot vinta!” (Let’s get going!), organized in the frames of MAKS-2007, attracted visitors’ attention. During the first day of the airshow Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, First Vice-Premier Segey Ivanov, Head of Federal Industry Agency Boris Aleshin and UABC CEO Alexey Fedorov watched the works made by schoolchildren and university students.  

   ‘I hope that your debut will be the start of great discoveries, said Vladimir Putin. ‘We hope our dreams come true’, answered the young participants.

   One of the most outstanding works was a research made by an eleventh-grader Maria Vechkanova titled “About most optimal speed in the airspace”. She has already received an invitation to hold a speech before the students and graduate students of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

   The first experience turned out to be positive. ‘We hope that at the next open youth festival “Ot vinta!” we will have even more participants. We need to look for talented youth, because our country is vast. They need our support. We should give them a chance to believe in themselves’, said Head of Federal Industry Agency Boris Aleshin.
