What's going on with our InteRussia journalism participants? 🔍 On May 23, our fellows visited the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There, they met with Deputy Director Vasily Kuznetsov, who gave them a crash course on the institute's history and international collaborations. He also shed light on Russia's foreign policy priorities in the Middle East region. The conversation then took an exciting turn as they delved into the nitty-gritty of security in North Africa, the recent flare-up of tensions between Palestine and Israel, and the current state of Russia-Egypt relations. Lots of new information for our participants! Keeping our finger on the pulse! #InteRussia #IJ

Russianists + Love for Russian Writers = Peredelkino 💜 Today, our Russianists embarked on a journey to get better acquainted with Russia's literary giants — in Peredelkino! 📌 Peredelkino is the legendary writers' colony located just southwest of Moscow.

Peredelkino was set up in the 1930s and became an epicentre of literature in the Soviet days. Some of the most prominent writers of the 20th century lived and worked here. At one time or another Peredelkino became home to Boris Pasternak, Korney Chukovsky, Isaac Babel, Konstantin Paustovsky, Bulat Okudzhava, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Bella Akhmadulina and many others.

The day started with a meeting with Asya Volodina, a current resident. Asya shared her creative journey, her experience learning and teaching Estonian. Next, the group took a tour of old Peredelkino, visiting the houses of Russian writers. And — shh, it's a secret — they even made a stop at the local cemetery, where they paid their respects at the graves of Boris Pasternak and Robert Rozhdestvensky. What a day filled with literary inspiration and a deeper appreciation for Russian literature! 😍 #interussia #russianstudies
