The major events of Siberian Federal University
“Universinale” or so-called “Days of Siberian Federal University” is one of the first and major traditions of the University. In 2008, there was a meeting of two federal universities – Southern Federal University and Siberian Federal University. Within the framework of the meeting, there were different competitions ranging from sport to science. Professors of Southern Federal University read public lectures for SibFU students. This stunning event ended up with the enormous firework for hundreds of students and staff of both universities.

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
—Wilfred M. McClay, educator, author. The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, p. 4, University of North Carolina Press (1994)
