Fedor is among those few students who not only speak Chinese fluently, but are also very familiar with Chinese culture. His wide knowledge of Chinese culture is simply amazing. He has been to many cities in China: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Chong Qin, Xi'an and many other small cities. He travels from north to south, from east to west, from city to the Chinese countryside.It is these travels that has lent him a thorough understanding of Chinese custom, its national character and its traditions. He knows the most popular idioms, such as "Wu Yu", and "Lei Ren". This year, Fedor stayed in China to celebrate the New Year, and his whole family came to visit him.

You can always find a smile on his face, no matter what, no matter when, and no matter how many difficulties he's facing. Because of this, it's easy to happy around him. People like him.
Being open-minded, he regards those who have congenial interests as his friends, regardless of their age, sex or nationality. And whenever his friends are in need, he is always there to help. When his Chinese friends from the faculty of Russian ask for his help, or invite him to take part in their activities, such as the European Cultural Festival, Academic and Cultural Festival of Graduates and the Knowledge Contests, he is always willing to join or give some advice.
