So, within the framework of practical training, students and teachers of Economics and Law College at IAPM traveled to Odessa from 8 to 11 April.

"Secrets of Odessa catacombs"
Extreme, mysterious and mystical tour took place in the Odessa catacombs. Students learned that Ukrainian catacombs are the longest and most mysterious man-made caves in the world. Thus, compared with the Rome (500 km) and Paris (about 300 km), Odessa catacombs extend to 2.5 thousand kilometers. On excursions teachers and students learned that the stone "safes" are shrouded in legends and myths. The most memorable was the story of a captain, who hid in the catacombs a ship's model made of pure gold - the "Golden brigantine" before going to the Great Patriotic War. He received this gift from the Portuguese Government for the salvage of their vessel. The captain had not returned from the war, and the golden ship haven't been found yet.
