He told about his experience to the correspondent of Rosbalt. The idea of the experiment was born in the student canteen. Alexey brought home buckwheat with eggs in a container, and classmates noticed that 50 rubles a day goes for such food. They suggested that with such a diet one can live only on a scholarship.
