Inside the White Coats: A Day in the Life of InteRussia Medical Fellows 📃 What does a typical day look like for our doctors?

Celebrating Language and Legacy: InteRussia Fellows at the Kostomarov Forum The InteRussia fellows in Russian studies took part in the 5th International Kostomarov Forum held at the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute. This year’s theme, “Language and Culture,” pays tribute to the legacy of Vitaly Kostomarov, whose 95th anniversary is being celebrated in 2025.

The Kostomarov Forum is a major international platform dedicated to the study and promotion of the Russian language and culture. Held annually at the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, the forum brings together scholars, educators, and cultural figures from across the globe.

The forum wasn’t just about theory — our fellows also explored Moscow’s cultural landmarks, including the Pushkin Museum, the House of Russian Émigrés, and the Institute’s own heritage spaces. A highlight of the week? Meeting their academic supervisors for the first time — the very scholars who will help them shape and co-author their research articles during the programme. #interussia #kostomarovforum #russianstudies #PresidentialGrantsFoundation #NewGeneration 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

Tuning In to the East: Wrapping Up the InteRussia Fellowship in Oriental Studies ✨ Hello, hello — how are our orientalists doing out there? They have just completed a remarkable deep dive into centuries of Eastern wisdom, hidden archives, and vibrant cultural layers — and now it’s time to share what they uncovered. ❌Guided by scholars from the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS, the fellows decoded complex narratives and defended research projects that bridge the past and present of Eastern civilizations. ❌They joined discussions at the Valdai Discussion Club and the Russian International Affairs Council and explored how natural sciences support archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology. ❌The participants also gained access to rare archival collections at the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, and the Pushkin Museum’s closed vaults. ❌In St. Petersburg, they met with Mikhail Piotrovsky and stepped into the intellectual heart of the East, visiting the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, the Saint Petersburg Institute of History, and the legendary Kunstkamera. ❌Not just observers, our orientalists stepped into the rhythm of Russian cultural and spiritual life — from the halls of the State Historical Museum, the State Russian Library, and the silence of the Novodevichy Monastery to the call to prayer at the Moscow Cathedral Mosque and reflections inside the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia. What do they take with them? A new lens on the East, informed by context, complexity, and curiosity, that will become building blocks for the future of scholarship and cross-cultural dialogue. Their research is almost ready to meet the world — and we promise it’s worth the wait 💎 #interussia #orientalstudies #PresidentialGrantsFoundation 🔥🔥🔥

Exploring Global Dynamics: Highlights from the International Relations Fellowship 📝 While Russia enjoys the May holidays, it’s a great time to reflect on everything that happened during the recent InteRussia fellowship in international relations. Over the course of the program, what started as a professional opportunity quickly became something much more — a time for exploration, exchange, and fresh perspective. Here’s what our fellows were up to: ⭐️ they developed research papers focused on the political dynamics of the Global South under the academic guidance of the MGIMO Institute for International Studies's experts; ⭐️ joined the IMEMO International Young Scholars Conference, diving into global development models and debating bold ideas with experts and peers from across the world; ⭐️ engaged in an in-depth discussion with Fyodor Lukyanov and explored Russia’s media and innovation hubs through visits to RT headquarters and Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology; ⭐️ immersed themselves in Russia’s rich cultural heritage — from the emotional performance of Giselle ballet to discovering the country’s vastness at the Russia National Center. The program may be officially over, but its impact is just beginning. The ideas, networks, and memories built during these weeks will continue to shape our fellows’ professional journeys for years to come. We’ll be eagerly waiting for their published research — and of course, we’ll share it with you. Stay tuned! #interussia #internationalrelations #PresidentialGrantsFoundation 🔥🔥🔥
