Here, the rector of Kazan Federal University Ilshat Gafurov began to boast: "The graduates of our university have already made a contribution not only to Russian, but also to the world development. Two of them are the most quoted Russians in the world – Leo Tolstoy and Vladimir Lenin. The trick (obviously unknown to the "high-educated" rector) is that Tolstoy and Lenin can only be called "graduates of Kazan University" in ridicule. The first abandoned his studies at this university two years later, and the second was expelled from Kazan University for participating in student circles, and with great difficulty subsequently passed the exams and received a diploma from the PETERBURG University.
So about Kazan University - apparently, the main thing - to leave it on time!
