"I would describe Oleg as an independent and motivated scholar with outstanding analytical skills. His interest in narrative theories allowed him to open a new dimension in the history of universities."
"Oleg constantly proved his abilities for research and especially his incredible enthusiasm. Most impressive is his openness for criticism and his willingness to make the best out of it, never to be tired to take my suggestions at heart."
"Oleg is an original thinker, he does not seem to need much guidance or supervision because he has a lot of his own ideas to develop. He is open and flexible, thoughtful and quick to help. Besides, he is well-educated and experienced in intercultural communication. There is something in his personal human quality, which attracts people, something very reliable."
