VSUES volunteers explore Olympic objects

A 4-year student of the School of international business and economics Karina Subbotina and a magistrand of the same school Elena Katrichenko have settled in the Olympic village in London and set to volunteer work. The girls live together with other volunteers from different cities of Russia. All in all there is one hundred compatriots among the volunteers. They went through a subsequent instruction in the first day and after that they had free time to have a look at the city.

Elena Katrichenko said:

- Everything in England is saturated with Olympic spirit: one can see symbols of the Games everywhere in the streets, statues and mascots at the embankment along the Thames, souvenirs in each supermarket and street store. Expecting the grand event prices have shopped up sky high. However, this does not prevent me from enjoying each minute that I am here. London is really magnificent!

Note: The Olympic village is located on the territory of 36 hectares only. It is the most compact residential compound in all the history of the Olympic Games.  It will house more than 16 thousand sportsmen and participants of delegations during the Olympics. The village is situated in the Stratford area, not far from the Olympic park.
