When it comes to Pavlovsky Posad near Moscow, one immediately thinks of uniquely beautiful, locally produced scarves and shawls known throughout the world. Today they are produced by the Pavlovo Posad Shawl Manufactory, founded in 1795, at the invitation of whose management the company was visited by the rector of the university Evgeny Rumyantsev, the head of the information resources and communications department Alla Novikova and the head of the practice and employment department Elena Vlasova.

The Ivanovites were met by General Director Alexander Kartashov, Deputy General Director, Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Chairman of the Board of the National Union of Folk Arts and Crafts Vyacheslav Dolgov and Honored Artist of Russia, laureate of the State Prize and numerous Russian and international exhibitions Elena Zhukova. Representatives of the Polytechnic University were shown a unique production and were introduced to the artists who create real masterpieces. They talked about their working conditions and opportunities for creative growth. They showed separate service living quarters intended for young professionals with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways, with modern renovations and everything necessary for life: from furniture to household appliances.

A visit to the “Miracle Shawl” cultural center, which is being built by the enterprise, complemented the overall impression. As Varvara Sharikova, head of the development department of the Pavlovo Posad Shawl Manufactory, said, there will be a museum and exhibition area, a cinema hall, spaces for master classes, various events and creative expression of people of any age. Construction is in its final stages, and soon the center will become an iconic place attracting the attention of local youth, as well as tourists from all over the country.
