How far will you go to please a famously cat-obsessed professor?
One university student in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg came to class in a Garfield costume – and got a massive payoff for what could have gotten him kicked out elsewhere.
“A lifetime of passing grades!” the professor, Nadezhda Solopova of the Ural State University of Architecture and Art, is heard as saying in a video that surfaced on Thursday.
Solopova’s love for cats is so well-known that it earned her a dedicated page on Russian social media – where the Garfield costume video first appeared last year. According to photographs from the page posted by the E1.ru website, students regularly attend classes wearing cat ears or even bring live cats to lectures.
Meanwhile, Russia has one year left to reach President Vladimir Putin’s goal of landing at least five universities into the global top-100 rankings.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
