It is impossible to get bored here because of diverse culture of the region.In Odessa region there are real natural wonders — many kilometers of sandy beaches, salt lakes — estuaries, oak forests and part of the delta of one of the largest European rivers — the Danube. And if you live in Odessa, it would be easy to get acquainted with this beautiful Ukrainian region on the Black Sea in a few months. And we will show you its most interesting places.

PRC territory in OdessaAccording to international law, the land on which embassies and consulates stand is considered the territory of the owner-state. Therefore, when one crosses the border of a diplomatic mission, he or she enters a different country. The Odessa Consulate General of P. R. China is located in a monument of architecture on Nakhimov lane. It has been four years since Mrs. U Syaoin started serving as consul general. For almost all of this term she has been trying to organize renovations of the building. It was in a half-ruined state in 2008. The best specialists from China have been invited to carry out constructions and renovations. «Pleasant working conditions for diplomats guarantee success in their endeavors. I was obliged to start repairs and learned a lot in these few years — says Mrs. U with a smile. — Now I can say that we have achieved what we wanted».

Our newspaper is young and it is made for foreigners that live in Odessa. The first issues will definitely get to all of the foreign students at ONU. 149 of them are from China. And how many young men and women from China are studying in our city? Is there a connection between Chinese nationals in Odessa and the consulate?At this time approximately 1200 Chinese students are obtaining education in Odessa. Our consulate is a diplomatic representation of PRC on the territory of

seven southern regions of Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie, Kherson, Mykolaiev, Kirovohrad, Odessa) and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. We have a 24/7 hotline, which accepts addresses from Chinese citizens in issues of consulate documentation and security; it also helps to resolve disputes with Ukrainian organizations and institutions.The Chinese language is the language of the future. It is spoken by every fourth person in the world now. How complicated is it? How and where in Odessa can we learn it? There is no center for studying the Chinese language and culture in Odessa today; however we are working on organizing one. Chinese is not only one of the most widespread languages in the world, but also one of the hardest for learning. Chinese is the language of philosophy, the language with five thousand years of unique history. But you are right — the interest to learning Chinese is an increasing worldwide tendency today. For example, 60 000 students from the US are now studying in PRC, and the government of this country is going to increase this amount by 40%. Many Europeans live in China now and

they were able to master the language. By the way, a Ukrainian anchor woman is working on our television. Moreover, a Ukrainian businessman was able to learn Chinese so well in just 4 years that he was able to confidently participate in a competition «Find the bride» on one of our central TV channels.Do Chinese people readily travel to Odessa?Odessa is the sea gate of Ukraine, a multinational city with traditions of tolerance to foreigners. It is also an important cultural and educational center. This is why your city is very appealing to us in many ways, in particular in terms of tourism. For the time being Western Europe is a more traditional touristic destination for Chinese people. However, in the case of an alleviation of the visa regime, elevation of the level of security, improvement of the infrastructure and upturn in the quality of service in Ukraine Odessa, surely, may become a more popular tourism center among us.What do Chinese think about international marriages?Thirty five years ago fundamental changes started in China. Deng Xiaoping announced the policy of openness. Since that time PRC achieved great success. It is the first country in the world in rating of the fastest economic development, and its economic potential places it second in such rating. The psychology among Chinese people changed as they became less conservative. Students that are studying in Ukraine are members of this group, and they are in the perfect age to establish families. It is not surprising that they find soul mates here. If they love each other — we support and acclaim such a union.My friend is a doctor at the maternity hospital and he states that for each one child born that is a Ukrainian national, four children are nationals of China. Do you have statistics about

how many Chinese people live in Odessa now? According to data from 2001 there were 400 people, but it is very much possible that this number rose in the past 10 years…I think your friend is exaggerating. Unfortunately, the tendency of the past years in demographics is such that we have to talk about depopulation in large cities. Now even the cancellation of prohibition of having more than one child to a family does not improve the situation — city dwellers are occupied with their carriers, they are constantly stressed out, so they choose to have one child. When it comes to Chinese people in Odessa — they are for the most part traders. They do not stay in one place for long. Today they are in Ukraine, tomorrow in Bulgaria, then Greece. Moreover, the consulate does not deal with registration — only those Chinese citizens that have problems turn to us. That is why I'm afraid I don't have that kind of statistics…Are days or weeks of China in Ukraine (in Odessa) planned? Should we expect visits of the Chinese opera, scientists, figures of culture and art?Of course, this year we are going to organize tours of Chinese creative groups in Odessa, in particular, ones from Czindao — the sister town of your city. As far as I know, Chinese students that study here organize concerts, creative nights and theater performances with their own efforts. I also enjoy visiting local theaters and the philharmonics, and so do many Chinese guests in Odessa. I am strongly convinced that culture is a strong foundation of friendly relations.Thank you for your attention and your responses. We hope that our newspaper will become a uniting link between you and our readers. All the best!

It was possible to prepare my diploma in Italy, but I decided to come to Ukraine, to Odessa. I read many books and saw movies about this city. I have been studying Russian for 6 years now and I like it a lot. I understood that Odessa is a must-see place! There is a movie studio here, so I will be able to gather more material for my thesis.The history of cinematograph is a special thesis topic. This is why I am studying with the general majority of students. My progress with the thesis is monitored by two scientists with PhDs in History. They are really helping me and the method is similar in Italy, in Bologna University.

I chose this special thesis topic because I attended a conference on the memory of Stalinism during my first year of the Master's degree, 1.5 years ago. I was very impressed by the events of those times and how many people were hurt then. After the conference I decided to study this topic through the prism of cinematograph. I don't know which career to develop: to find a job according to my major? There is also a possibility to further my academic career in the history of cinema. It would be great to follow my dream­—­to go to a movie school and to learn how to make movies. I like art. But it is probably just going to remain a dream. I am obliged to work and make money after finishing education. It is an international problem that all students face.

— Sergey Sergeevich! A journey to another country can be compared with a flight to another planet. In this case You, as the Dean of Preparatory department, are the director of Space preparation centre. What do your foreign university entrants need to be prepared for?— We have a more difficult task than a space preparation centre. We prepare our «astronauts» for life and activity on «another planet» already at the moment of their living on this very «planet». To be serious, our aim is to provide high-quality preparation of foreigners for studying a chosen specialty at our university or other higher institutions of Ukraine. We do everything that is necessary for their productive studies and comfortable living. We take care of health, rest and safety of our students. The entire personnel of our university from the rector to attendants take part in this work: teachers and employees, workers of hostels and students' cafes, heads of sport sections, centre of students' leisure, personnel of first-aid posts. At PDF, students are taught

mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, study of the country, literature, drawing, information technology and other disciplines. Further studies are first of all knowledge of the language of teaching. That is why great attention and a large number of academic hours are given to Ukrainian and Russian languages. We also teach students history and culture of Ukrainian people, try to cultivate international friendliness.— Sergey Sergeevich, which qualities do you and your colleagues need to work successively at preparatory department?— Mainly the same as any other higher school teacher: professionalism, responsibility, initiative, humanity… But as PDF students are yesterday's pupils, so our teachers must also be parents, educators and, if you want, nannies. For instance, our students who came from Africa, seeing the snow falling down behind the window, ask the teacher: «Does it hit your head painfully?» And the teacher has to explain not only physical properties of snow, not only instruct students how to dress in the

winter time, but also, like a caring mother, make sure that the students wore clothes in accordance with the weather.

— Viktor Alekseevich, what do foreign students need to study drawing and geography for?— Without drawing, in particular, a complete engineering education is impossible. Paul Dirak, founder of quantum physics, wrote that without a course of drawing and a notion about projection, which he learned, he would not have been able to achieve anything in science.The greatest biologists and sociologists of the XX century insisted on convergence of technical and classical education. In the course of drawing students learn to represent complex forms in a simple way, to perceive the beauty of ordinary things.Geography is an inexhaustible area. Geography gives spatial idea about any object, students obtain knowledge on political geography, place of Ukraine in the modern world, its connection with other countries. — How does teaching take place?— According to the norms of credit and module system: lectures, practical and laboratory classes, seminars, independent work of students on projects and reports,

further control. A course usually consists of 4 modules. Students pass three modules in written form as tests, and one — in the oral form, when they acquire language skills. Final mark is the sum of marks for modules. Number of modules depends on the field of further education. We prepare students in the following specialties: humanities, engineering and technologies, socium and economics, natural sciences, life and health protection.— When do academic terms start and finish?— In our reality terms start as the students arrive. During a year a student has to attend 1332 academic hours (one class lasts 2 hours). If a student comes on September 1, the academic year lasts 37 weeks, until July 4, subtracting time of holidays). If, because of any reasons, a student starts attending lessons later, the number of academic hours is not changed, but academic loading increases sufficiently. The first, or winter term starts on September 1, and finishes in January-February, the second, or summer term, starts in January-

February and finishes in June. In 2012, the academic year will end in May. Sometimes groups finish their studies in August. After finishing the course students get Odessa I.I. Mechnikov National University PDF certificate or diploma.

Dear readers of the «Odessa International»!I welcome you on the pages of the first newspaper for foreign students in Odessa. Here you will find useful information about work, education and comfortable leisure time in our beautiful city. The Odessa University has 171 cooperation agreements with universities on five continents. Its powerful scientific basis, classic traditions of higher education and innovational achievements of our lecturers draw new friends from abroad to study at ONU. The high international status of the Odessa I.I. Mechnikov National University is reinforced by multiple prestigious international conferences, which are frequently hosted here. Over a dozen lecturers from leading European universities are teaching within the 90 Departments at 12 Institutes and Faculties of ONU. Every year over one hundred foreigners are training at the University. 313 students from 31 countries are studying at the Institute of International Education and Preparatory Department for foreign students, along with you, dear readers. I am sure that a terrific future is ahead all of you. Education at ONU already helped numerous people in achieving the goals of their life, including scientists from the USA, France, Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland, Lithuania, Minister of the Chemical Industry of Vietnam, members of the PRC government, culture and art personality of Bulgaria, Italy, Russia. Many of the

foreign graduates recommend the University to their children and grandchildren. I wish you great success, mutual understanding and many pleasant moments with the «Odessa International»!

This program is only offered by three Ukrainian universities, including the I.I. Mechnikov Odessa National University. Students come for internships under governmental placement and receive scholarships from PRC. They live in dormitories. Trainees study the Russian and Ukrainian languages and literature. This year two groups of students came to Odessa — one in November and one in December. They introduce the history and traditions of China to our readers.

Fairy tale about monthsFebruary­is­the­last­month­of­the­winter­in­the­Northern Hemisphere and the last month of the summer­in­the­Southern.­The­name­February­was­given­by­the­Romans.­In­their­old­calendar­it­was­the­last­month­of­the­year.­Time­to­take­stock.­The­Slavs­called­this­month­in­different­ways:­fierce,­snow,­chopper,­border.­But­it­was­considered­to­be­the­time­when­winter­meets­spring.­This­is­what­a fairy tale is about — an old Ukrainian fairy tale about­months­in­a­new­way.­Once brothers-months April and February met on a New Year's Eve. They met and got acquainted. Before that, March had always stood between them, but that time he was late. February invited April to visit him. He said: «Come to me, brother, I'll be glad to see you!» April waited until February took power over the world, and set off. He travelled in an old-fashioned way on the cart. The weather was dry and warm, so April was going fast. But hardly had he made a third of the way as the mood of February changed: it started raining, the road became impassable and the cart got stuck in the mud. It was impossible to go farther. April was upset, he went home and started to wait for the new year to try a visit again. The next year April decided to go on a sleigh. February was cold and snowy. Forests and fields were laying quietly under the thick snow. Birds were freezing in silence. He traveled half of the way — but February felt sorry for birds and melted. Streams and rivers flowed and everything was flooded by the melt water. The sleigh sank. April was very disappointed and went home to wait until the next year. A year later, in the February thaw, he hit the road again, on a boat. But he failed to get to his destination by boat too. February all of a sudden froze the water. And the boat was blocked by the ice. And again April came back home. He began to think: what should I do? How do I get to my brother's place? And in the fourth year he found the way. Have you guessed? He got well prepared for the trip: left his home on a cart and loaded the boat and the sledge on it. When it started to snow, April moved to the sledge, and put the boat and the cart on it. And when the snow melted and streams flowed, the boat proved useful: the sledge and the cart and the horse managed to fit in it in a miraculous way. When April finally came to February, February was very happy. It turned out that he had forgotten that he asked his brother to visit him. But, for April to stay longer, he asked the Sun for one more day. The Sun agreed, and since then every four years, it gives February one more day so that April could stay with him to his heart content. These years are called leap years. And people say: «February will both heat you with the warmth and hit with the cold.»

Which films have been made about Odessa?Odessa got into the objective of video cameras at the moment when cinecamera was created. But the most famous film, in which our city starred is the film: «Battleship Potemkin» (1925), which is recognized as the best in the history of cinema. After the film one of Odessa symbols — Boulevard steps — got the name Potemkin steps. Here in 1908 the first in Ukraine film studio was founded. Many celebrities of the world cinema — Vladimir Vysotsky, Jackie Chan and Tim Roth acted in Odessa.

A few words about the celestial empireIt is widely known that China is a populous and vast country. Chinese are proud of their history and culture. But few people know about the life of its people, about what is usual in it and what is unusual. I will try to open a small window for you into my China. Let's start with holidays.The main holiday in China is the Spring Holiday (the New Year of the ancient calendar). It is a family holiday and an official one at the same time. Chinese people like it a lot. The Spring Holiday (it is celebrated at varying days each year) and the National Holiday (the 1st of October; this is the day that marked the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949) are celebrated by all Chinese people. In October we all get a week off from work («The Golden Week»). Other popular holidays include Duaniu (calculated by lunar calendar, usually in June) and the Moon Holiday (in the middle of autumn), the Celebration of Lanterns (usually in February), Woman's Day (the 8th of March), Labor Day (the 1st of May). Lately western holidays started gaining popularity as well. Young people enjoy celebrating such holidays as Christmas (the 25th of December), Valentine's Day (the 14th of February) and April's Fools (the 1st of April).

Where were there German churches in Odessa? Where is the cemetery, where German war prisoners, who restored the city after the war, were buried? Germans settled in Odessa in 1803. They were mainly craftsmen, invited by general-governor A.de Richelieu (people call him Duke). They belonged to three confessions — Catholics, Lutherans and Calvinists. All three German churches, founded in the XIX century, survived to this day. They are:– Roman-Catholic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 1853 (33 Ekaterininskaya Street),– Evangelical Reformed Presbyterian Church, 1900 (62 Pasteur Street) and– Lutheran St Paul's cathedral, 1897 (Lutheran Church; 68 Novoselsky Street).The region between the second and the third churches got the name «German colony»; its central street was Dvoryanskaya Str.Even before the end of the war of 1941–1945, German prisoners of war were kept in the camp, which was located in the region of the modern settlement of oilmen (35 Promyshlennaya Street). There were more than 800 prisoners of war, who restored the destroyed places in Odessa and built standard houses in Admiralskiy avenue after the war. They died in Odessa and were buried here.
