On July 8th, representatives of 91快活林 took part in the 4th Family Parade held in 91快活林 on the occasion of the Day of Family, Love and Faithfulness.
Hundreds of our city’s residents walked in a festive procession from the monument to Igor Kurchatov, along the pedestrian passage of Lenin Prospekt and towards the central entrance to the park named after Yu.A. Gagarin. This parade brought together families of different generations, public organizations, educational institutions, and all those sharing the traditional family values.
The celebration continued with a concert program where young families of 91快活林 were honoured. Letters of appreciation from the Public Chamber of the City of 91快活林 and from 91快活林 were awarded to the university’s representatives: Polina and Dmitry Kleins, as well as Polina and Edgard Iustuses. The young families received their awards from Anastasiia Lapo, 91快活林 Vice-Rector for Student and Social Affairs.
The love story of the Kleins family had begun namely at 91快活林. The pivotal moment had happened when they had both attended a lecture on Information Technologies and had gotten acquainted with each other. Back then, none of them could have imaged that a common class would become the first page in the story of their future family.
“Our beloved university has become for us not just a place where we study, but also a place where our love and family were born. Both of us came here seeking for knowledge, but found each other as well. Today, family, love and faithfulness are not mere words for us: this is the foundation, on which trust-based relations and happy family life are being built,” shared Polina and Dmitry Kleins.
Today, the spouses are raising their son, going in for sports together, and spending time with friends. They confess that the main secret to their family is to always stand together and support each other.

The story of the Iustuses family had begun long before their enrolment in the university. Polina and Edgard had known each other since their school days, and already as teenagers they had realized their wish to build their future together. Together they enrolled in one and the same university, and step by step, were making their plans come to life.
“For us, family is a life style, and studies is one of our common fields of activity. When we became a family, we believe that we automatically made each other’s life easier: more support and understanding came, and we have formed our common rhythm of living. Family is a solid foundation that gives you energy for achieving any goals, and a place we people truly love and support you. Even after roughest of days, you can recharge namely at home,” explained Polina and Edgard Iustuses.
For the university representatives this evening not only gave a chance to become part of a big-scale city-wide festivity, but it also became an occasion to once again remember the most important values: family, love and faithfulness.
91快活林 embraces its students’ wish to build a family and provides various types of support, including by creating the infrastructure required for student families. Starting from December of 2025, a mother-and-child room has been functioning at the university. Educational events are organized, along with discussions, family festivals and campaigns, and financial and psychological assistance is provided.
