Student climbs tree for internet

俄罗斯大学生爬树顶上网课

Russian student Alexei Dudoladov has been forced to go to great lengths - or rather great heights - to attend classes online, having to climb a birch tree in his remote Siberian village every time he needs an internet connection.

为了上网课，俄罗斯学生阿列克谢•杜多拉多夫不得不走很远——更确切地说，爬很高。这个住在西伯利亚偏远村庄的年轻人每次上课都不得不爬到一棵桦树上找信号。

The 21-year-old, a popular blogger and a student at the Omsk Institute of Water Transport, located 2,225 kilometers east of Moscow, got the authorities' attention by pleading for better internet coverage from the top of a snow-covered birch tree.

21岁的杜多拉多夫是一位受欢迎的博主，同时也是位于莫斯科以东2225公里的鄂木斯克水上运输学院的学生。近日他在白雪覆盖的白桦树顶上请求改善网络覆盖，引起了当局注意。

In his plea - viewed 1.9 million times on TikTok and more than 56,000 times on Instagram since last week - Dudoladov tells regional governor Alexander Burkov that his home internet is not strong enough to connect to his online classes and that he has been forced to come up with a creative solution.

自上周以来，他的请愿在TikTok上被浏览190万次，在Instagram上被浏览5.6万多次，杜多拉多夫告诉当地州长亚历山大•伯科夫，他家里网络信号不好，无法上网课，他被逼无奈想出了这个创造性的解决方案。

The Omsk region's education ministry said it was preparing an individualized study plan for Dudoladov so he could study in Stankevichi, a village 170 kilometers northwest of the regional capital.

鄂木斯克州教育部门表示，正在为杜多拉多夫制定个性化的学习方案，让他可以在地区首府西北170公里处的斯坦克维奇村学习。
