Quote by the head of the laboratory: Togliatti, in my opinion, is better than Moscow or St. Petersburg for working on the project. Probably it is common to think that all the best things are concentrated in big cities. Bit I was impressed by the equipment at the Togliatti State University: devices at the Research institute for progressive technologies is at a high, world class level.
