GE-What was university life like before the civil war started? Was it much different?
S.Dzhura-It was a very interesting life. We were the key university in the country. The First State Prize in Foreign Cooperation proves it. There was a strong competition in which many respected universities took part, and we won the prize. They didn't believe it was a fair award (maybe it was out of envy) and I was sent to Kiev twice to participate at international exhibitions where we proved our status and brought back some more awards. We had many foreign students and about 30 thousand local ones then. Here is a brief description of the University of that Period:
Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU) is the first higher education establishment in the Donbass Region and one of the first technical universities in Ukraine. 27,000 students study at 18 faculties, 60 specialties being their major.

A number of scientists of DonNTU are honorary and full members of different foreign organizations, academies. There are professors and students whose work was supported by the Soros Fund.
