Happy New Year 2025

Dear friends, colleagues, family,

Looking back on 2024, I can say that it was extremely eventful, productive, and challenging. The main event of 2024 for me was Leah and Misha meeting in beautiful Rome. I had been waiting for that moment for a long time, and I experienced such a supreme form of happiness that it is hard to imagine. Brother and sister played, walked, laughed, and were together. Truly, very little is needed for happiness.

There were some changes in my professional career as well. I was able to conceive, formulate, and communicate to leadership the idea of a unified digital platform for Russian agriculture. In January of the new year I expect that concept to be published, and then it will be possible to say with confidence that my efforts have borne some fruit. I hope that the implementation of the Unified Digital Platform will correspond to the ideas invested in it and become a true entry point into digital agriculture. Of course there were also failures, but right now I do not want to dwell on the sad parts. One must know how to let go and exhale. Everything always leads to something better.

The year demanded a tremendous amount of energy, but the law of conservation of energy still works, and I would like to think that all those expenditures were more than compensated in different areas of life.

I cannot fail to mention my wonderful wife, who made a breakthrough in the past year. She managed to do something no one expected from her. I admire her courage, determination, and fearlessness. Bravo, Maria.

Thank you to my family and loved ones for still being my family and loved ones. You are the most important thing in life.

May the New Year be better, more productive, and more positive. May all wishes come true and all goals be achieved.

Hugs to everyone. Alyosha
