The rector of the Odessa State Academy of Construction and Architecture, Anatoliy Kovrov, has been awarded the Honorary Badge of the Mayor of Odessa named after H.G. Marazli of the third degree.

This award is a well-deserved recognition for an individual who has made significant contributions to preserving the city's architecture, enhancing professional education, and training generations of highly qualified engineers. Anatoliy Volodymyrovych also leads the 'construction special forces', which are among the first to respond to enemy attacks and provide expert assessments.

In the context of war, we have become even more aware of the value of those who not only educate but also take action - systematically, professionally, and with love for their hometown.

I sincerely thank Anatoliy Volodymyrovych for his diligent work, support of city initiatives, and tireless efforts for the benefit of Odessa.
