Scientists of South Ural State University took part in the shooting of a documentary series exploring the phenomenality of bread in the Russian and global history, science, economics, and culture.
The organizers of the project got excited about the development by SUSU scientists: a bread recipe that will help in overcoming psychological trauma. The aim of the project is to encourage the viewers to feel proud of the past and present of our country, as well as to attract investments in the agricultural and scientific industries. Developments in this direction are being led by the Director of the School of Medical Biology, Doctor of Sciences (Engineering), Professor Irina Potoroko.
The series has been recently released on the Premier.One platform. In total, there are 4 episodes:
