Guest Lecture by Colleague from the B.N. Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University

On April 13, 2026, first-year students in the programs “Jurisprudence” and “Law and Law Enforcement” received an online guest lecture from Anton V. Kotik, Master of History, research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Analysis and Forecasting at the B.N. Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan), and researcher at the Autonomous Non-Commercial Organization “Siberian Society for International Studies” (Novosibirsk, Russia).

During the meeting, the lecturer shared with the students his practical experience participating in international research internships and scientific conferences, and discussed current opportunities for academic mobility and scientific development in an interdisciplinary and international environment. The audience was particularly interested in the importance of research and publication activity in building a professional portfolio, as well as their role in subsequent employment and academic careers.

The lecture was conducted in a lively dialogue format: students actively asked questions about choosing an academic path, participating in international projects, and developing research competencies.

We thank Anton V. Kotik for his informative and motivating presentation, as well as for his contribution to the development of academic interaction between universities. We wish him further professional and academic success!
