Mongolian President to Send Mir Expedition to Lake Khövsgöl
M.V. Slipenchuk, Head of METROPOL Group, MSU Professor, took
part in the meeting of T. Elbegdorj with MSU teachers and
students.
On 30 May 2011, as part of his official visit to Russia,
Mongolian President T. Elbegdorj visited Moscow State University,
where he met with its teachers and students. This event was
attended by M.V. Slipenchuk, Head of METROPOL Group, Professor at
the Chair of Environmental Management of the Department of
Geography, MSU. METROPOL and the Mongolian president are friends. A
year ago, Mr Elbegdorj became the first president in history to
take part in an underwater scientific expedition on a Mir
submersible.
The expedition called Mirs on Baikal was arranged by the Fund
for Protection of Lake Baikal, under the aegis of METROPOL. The
footage of the Mongolian president’s submersion was included in the
documentary Down to the Depths of Baikal, which was made on the
order of METROPOL by the All-Russian State Television and Radio
Broadcasting Company, with the support of the Mongolian television.
The film was shown in the Mongolian language in Mongolia in May of
this year. When asked by students and reporters about his
impression of the Baikal submersion, Mr Elbegdorj said it would be
useful to arrange an expedition of Mirs (the submersibles are now
being prepared for an expedition to lake Geneva) to the oldest and
most beautiful Mongolian lake – Khövsgöl .
The Group includes six battery plants and business units developing and introducing new technologies, and distributing products.
