“It was also necessary to write an essay in the application for the scholarship. I chose the topic “Does modern civilization continue to be a civilization of war?”. The topic attracted with its controversial nature. I believe it is necessary to jointly, in the course of creative activity, to meaningfully open the doors to the new with keys, relying on the experience of generations. There are no winners in any local or global war. All of humanity is losing, and each side pays for the blood of each side in its own way. If humanity does not develop in harmony with itself and the environment, then the “keys” from the solution of current and future problems disappear, ”Maxim shared his opinion.
