It's good that the list has been updated. I wonder why Mikhail Litvishchenko’s father was released from the university, and Savva from the technical one? Now Maxim Pichugin will look after the techies. Thanks for the clear table.

Thanks for the updated list, now everything is clearly visible in the table. It is interesting that Father Mikhail Litvishchenko was replaced by Archpriest Sergius Plekhov - he, it seems, has been working at the university for a long time. And Maxim Pichugin, it turns out, now got the techies.

Yeah, that table does make it a lot easier to follow. I hadn't realized Fr. Sergiy had been involved with student work for so long—makes sense they'd hand the university over to him. Do you know if Fr. Maxim has any experience with tech students already, or is this new for him too?
