Belgorod State University representatives participate in a popular TV programme on the national channel

The guest of Andrey Malakhov show was Mohammed Sidik-Afgan also known as “Nostradamus of the XXI Century”, a famous philosopher and mathematician, a 1982 graduate of the Faculty of Foreign Citizens (currently Preparatory Department) of Belgorod State University. The scientist developed a special formula to forecast the future, so that his predictions based on calculation have been confirmed more than once.

In the previous TV program Sidik asked to find his first Russian language teacher, Svetlana Ivanovna Naddel.

Ilya Romanov, a public relations specialist at Belgorod State University and a doctoral student at the Institute of Earth Sciences, helped to find the woman, who is still teaching at BelSU Institute of Intercultural Communication and International Relations.

Svetlana Naddel was the curator of the academic group where Sidik-Afghan studied 41 years ago, recollecting with warmth the outstanding student from Afghanistan. According to her, the young man was different from his classmates, behaved very modestly, always dressed in style.

“I have taught many students, but Sidik Afghan turned out to be the brightest figure I in my almost half-century teaching period”, said Svetlana.

The student and the teacher met in Andrey Malakhov's studio after 40 years.

As Sidik Afghan confessed, Svetlana had always treated him with sincere warmth as a mother, helping him in any difficult situation.
