Daniil Rybyakov, using a grant he received last year, opened the RBK FAMILY children's school of modern choreography.

"I've been practicing choreography since I was 7 years old. Then he entered the F.M. Dostoevsky University at the Department of Choreography, and after graduating, he thought about his own school. Grant helped open it. About 110 children are currently studying at the dance school. We work with a teacher together, the workload is heavy, and we plan to hire another teacher next year. We have not yet announced a new recruitment for next year, but we are already receiving applications. I come from a big family, we have 5 children, I am the oldest, so I have enough experience with children. For me, this is a vocation, I'm doing my favorite thing – raising a generation of talented children," he said.Daniil Rybyakov.

Since childhood, Lev Kislitsin dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur, for which he graduated from the Financial University under the Government of Russia. With the funds of a grant received last year, he opened the production of Vestal Virgin soap.

To turn a hobby into an enterprise, financial investments are needed, I heard about government support, so I decided to try it. Everything worked out, the government helped. I sent a third of the products from the first batch to the guys for FREE," Lev Kislitsin shared.
