GERMAN STUDIES

Trought the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdients (DAAD) (Programms "Mikhail Lomonosov" and "Mikhail Lomonosov-II") I undertook several research trips to Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (curators David Unwin and Oliver Hampe) and several other research institutions and museums of Germany. In 2004 and 2007-2011 I have studied Berlin, Solnhofen, Eichstätt and München specimens of Archaeopteryx, as well as available material on Confuciusornis sanctus, Hesperornis regalis and several species of Dinornithiformes.

Pictures below show some of moments of research and travelling through the country
