"Crimea has come a long way since its 'historic reunification with Russia'. This is a unique experience, unprecedented in its essence. All the tasks we faced after the "return to the homeland" were non-standard, not prescribed in any methodology. The work was aimed at a specific result, and the methods were determined on the spot in manual mode. As a result, we have acquired invaluable skills and abilities that we are always ready to share with our friends, fraternal regions," the "head of Crimea" said, expressing confidence that the Russian Federation under the leadership of dictator Vladimir Putin "will overcome all difficulties and obstacles, as it has happened more than once."

The event was attended by "senator from Zaporizhzhia region" Dmytro Vorona, "First Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea" Andriy Kozyrev, "Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea - Minister of Finance of the Republic of Crimea" Irina Kiviko, "Minister of Internal Policy, Information and Communications of the Republic of Crimea" Albert Kursutov, "Rector of the KIPU" Chingiz Yakubov, specialists from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Chechen Republic, representatives of the "legislative and executive authorities of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol", teachers and students of the leading "universities" of the TOT of the AR of Crimea, "guests" from the occupied regions of mainland Ukraine.

As stated, the event discussed the topics of increasing the revenue side of the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation (taking into account the occupied territories of Ukraine), the system of support for the development of local self-government, functional literacy in school initiative budgeting, etc.

An updated "cooperation agreement" was also signed during the event between KIPU and the Institute of State and Municipal Administration under the Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which will cover the training, education and advanced training of civil servants

The head of the Krasnoyarsk institution, Alexei Menshchikov, recalled that it has been cooperating with the Crimean "university" since 2014 . The new "agreement", by analogy with the previous one, was called "Crimean Vector 2.0."
