The recall of the scientific adviser For the master's thesis Kolpakova Natalia Vasilyevna "The image of Russia in the socio-political media of the Scandinavian countries"  Natalia Kolpakova graduated from the Faculty of International Relations of St. Petersburg State University in 2015 and entered the master's program of the Institute "School of Journalism and Mass Communications" of St. Petersburg State University. The choice of the theme of the master's thesis, as well as the experience of Natalia's practical activities, speaks about the interest of the master student in the interaction between Russia and Scandinavia, and the formation of Russia's image in the media space of foreign countries. The theme of the Bachelor's thesis of Natalia Kolpakova is "The country's image in textbooks of the state language as foreign (Great Britain, Russia, France, Sweden)". In the thesis the undergraduate continued to develop the chosen direction and prepared a work on the theme "The image of Russia in the socio-political media of Scandinavian countries". From February 2015 to December 2016, Natalia Kolpakova worked in the press service of the Fifth Channel - she prepared press releases, called the "Day of Good Deeds" call-center, conducted the accreditation campaigns for "Scarlet Sails" (Алые паруса) 2015-2016. At the moment - specialist of marketing department of the company "Maxidom." As a scientific adviser, I began to work with Natalia only at the last stage. But despite that I can say that Natalia is a disciplined and responsible student. She managed to demonstrate good research skills, a good knowledge of foreign languages, which allowed studying and analyzing media and literature in foreign languages.  The work is done at a decent level, and deserves a positive evaluation.  Scientific adviser, Yu. V.
