In 2007, Melnik's work team broke two Russian coal-mining records: monthly – 522,000 tonnes, and yearly – almost 4,500,000 tonnes.

I am so glad that I have joined the team that has an important mission – to promote skills in our country. Thanks for your efforts, enthusiasm, devotion to your profession, and desire to learn new things.
