🇷🇺🇮🇳On 14–15 September, Mumbai hosted the tour of the Youth Chamber Orchestra of the D.D. Shostakovich Saint Petersburg Academic Philharmonia, conducted by Yaroslav Zaboyarkin.

📌The concerts at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre (NCPA) featured a programme bringing together masterpieces of Russian and European classical music. Particular prominence was given to the works of Dmitri Shostakovich, including Five Pieces for Two Violins and Piano in an orchestral arrangement and Two Pieces for String Octet, Op. 11. The programme concluded with Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48.

❗️Prior to the final concert, Consul General of Russia in Mumbai Ivan Fetisov addressed the audience. He emphasised that culture continues to be one of the most important and enduring links between Russia and India, and expressed his wishes for an inspiring evening filled with the beauty of music and the artistry of Russian performers. Ivan Fetisov noted that music has a unique ability to transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries, while encounters with Russian art leave a lasting impression in the hearts of audiences.

❤️The tour marked a historic milestone for the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia, as it was the first time in its 105-year history that one of its ensembles performed in India. The concerts in Mumbai made a valuable contribution to Russian-Indian cultural exchanges, offering Indian audiences an opportunity to discover the artistry and talent of a new generation of Russian musicians.

Foreigners learning to speak Russian at the IFY–2026 🇷🇺

What brought together participants from Zimbabwe, Mexico and India? They worked through a few lessons of a free Russian-as-a-foreign-language course and picked up several new words along the way!

Some repeated a word three times over, some laughed at their own pronunciation, and some were surprised by how quickly a new phrase stuck. We'd say it worked out pretty well 🔥


Watch the video to see participants from different countries give Russian a try 💓

✉️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent a message to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi warmly congratulating him on his birthday (September 17, 2026)

✍️ The message reads, in part:

“You are rightly enjoying a deep respect from your compatriots and great authority on the global stage. It is impossible to overstate your personal contribution to strengthening the special and privileged strategic partnership between India and Russia.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 I would like to express my gratitude for the warm and cordial welcome and hospitality extended to me and the Russian delegation during my visit to New Delhi last week. The talks we held were undoubtedly substantive, frank, and productive. As always, it was a genuine pleasure to talk with you, and our discussions once again demonstrated your extraordinary political wisdom and foresight.

We will, of course, continue our constructive cooperation on pressing bilateral and international issues for the benefit of our friendly nations.”

Skills of the Future: No-Tie Talk — How It Went 🌐👔

🟢On September 14, the International Festival of Youth — 2026 hosted the first large-scale event of MGIMO’s “Future Global Leaders Laboratory” program — an interactive session, “Skills of the Future: No-Tie Talk.”
What skills should a future leader possess? What helps one make decisions under uncertainty, find a common language with people from different cultures, and lead others?


🌏Three young Festival participants from Russia, Mongolia and Vietnam presented their vision of the key competencies needed by future leaders. Invited experts continued the conversation: they shared professional experience, practical recommendations, and their view of the skills that are becoming especially important in today’s world.

We’ve prepared for you several leadership tips that our experts shared with the session participants 🤫

➡️Ekaterina Shuvalova, Advisor to the Rector — Deputy Vice-Rector for Students’ Development and International Affairs at MGIMO:
Networking is not about the number of contacts, but about the quality of communication because the real value comes after the exchange of business cards, when genuine human connections begin to take shape.


➡️Tatyana Terentyeva, Deputy CEO for Human Resources at Rosatom State Corporation:
In a world of generative AI, where there is no single source of truth, we need to learn how to manage AI as part of a team, make use of machine-generated expertise, while developing uniquely human skills such as critical thinking.


➡️Dauren Abayev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Russian Federation:
My advice to future leaders is simple: first and foremost, be a good person, become a professional in your field, and constantly build your social capital.


➡️Kunal Sharma, Founder and President of the Indian youth platform Chhatra Sansad:
When people ask me what to do after graduating from university, I always advise them to ask themselves three questions: 1) What problem do I want to solve in my community, country, or university? 2) Whose life do I want to impact? 3) What legacy do I want to leave behind?


➡️Shi Tianchi, Deputy Head of the International Department of the All-China Youth Federation:
Lifelong learning is the foundation of modern life. However, learning is not simply about becoming familiar with a topic — it is about understanding its essence. Time management is merely a tool; the most important thing is to define your values and goals.


💭And the most interesting part — everyone could offer their own version of the answer. All participants joined the conversation through a digital platform and, in real time, chose the qualities they consider key for a modern leader. That’s how the “skills cloud” appeared — a collective portrait of the professional of the future.

Thank you to the experts, young participants, and all guests for the open conversation, fresh ideas, and the atmosphere of a genuine no-tie talk. And this is only the beginning of the “Future Global Leaders Laboratory.” Ahead are new meetings, discussions, and opportunities to search together for answers to the questions that determine the future.

See you at the next Festival events! 🩵

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin Address to the nation ahead of the 2026 State Duma elections

💬 Vladimir Putin: Friends, citizens of Russia,

I consider it important to address you now, when our big country is going through a significant and largely definitive election campaign.

In strict compliance with law and within the specified timeframe, we are electing members of the State Duma, legislative assemblies, governors of several regions, and members of municipal bodies.

This extensive election campaign is taking place as we continue the special military operation. Residents of Donbass and Novorossiya will be voting for State Duma deputies for the first time since their reunification with Russia.

I firmly believe that our soldiers and officers involved in this challenging work at the frontline will be among active voters. Their courage and loyalty to the Fatherland are exemplary for the entire nation.

We know what Russia is fighting for and what the duty of every citizen is. Our heroes are forging victory on the battlefield. Everybody who is honestly working for the benefit of the country – and understand their responsibility for its future – are bringing this victory closer. Participation in the upcoming vote that is taking place during the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia is also a responsibility and contribution to the country’s strength.

❗️ Your choice and determination will show once again that millions of people are backing our fighters and that we stand together, united by shared values, our historical memory, love for our Motherland, and that nobody can divide or intimidate us, undermine our statehood, our public and political system.

Every vote matters. You and your personal choice will directly determine what political forces will represent people’s interests in the federal parliament, in the regions and in local governance.

I am certain that, with your support and trust, the most deserving and competent candidates, the true patriots of Russia will come out as winners. Those will be candidates who will not let you down and who have proved their loyalty to the Motherland and their readiness to serve our nation and protect our country from any threats.

Friends,

🗳 The voting will take place over three days, on September 18, 19 and 20.

I urge you to exercise your constitutional right and make a thought-out and responsible decision, so that the election results attest to the maturity and resilience of Russian society. This will be our collective response to those who seek to undermine Russia, slow down its development, or strip away our sovereignty or our right to determine our own future.

🇷🇺
Participation in the elections is our joint contribution to Russia’s victory.

⚡️ The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis has published a report “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of the Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime”, presenting its findings on the Bucha hoax, and how the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors through mainstream media support falsified the events of what occurred in Bucha in 2022.

The Tribunal brings together civil society representatives from 35 countries. Drawing on Ukrainian media reports, memorial records and eyewitness testimony, the publication debunks the claim that the individuals commemorated at the Bucha memorial were civilians killed by Russia's Armed Forces.

Key findings:

▪️ Military personnel presented as civilian victims

The report identifies Ukrainian servicemen and combatants listed among the memorial’s “civilian victims”.

Examples include Evgeny Petrash, a serviceman of Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov battalion; Andrey Vaskevich, an Azov company commander; Ruslan Belous and Roman Dovgalyuk, military pilots whose aircraft was downed near Berezovka. Other entries include a sniper of Ukraine's 80th separate air assault brigade Oleg Tsimbal, members of territorial defence units, airborne formations and military intelligence.

▪️ Discrepancies in the location and cause of death

A number of people commemorated at the Bucha memorial died elsewhere. Ukrainian sources place the deaths of a number of servicemen near Vorzel, Moshchun, Kopylov and other settlements.

The report also cites 68-year-old Galina Semenyuk, who died of cancer but somehow appears on the memorial. Such cases highlight the need to establish each person’s circumstances of death before presenting the entire list as “civilian victims killed by the Russian military”.

▪️ Witness accounts of shelling and manipulated coverage

The publication includes 16 witness accounts from Avdeevka, Ugledar, Dzerzhinsk and other towns and cities. Witnesses recount Ukrainian attacks on residential areas followed by the arrival of journalists, coverage blaming Russia, and pressure on residents to repeat that account.

***

The Tribunal’s conclusion is unequivocal: the material it has collected points to blatant falsification of events in Bucha by the Kiev regime with Western support, alongside a broader practice of killing civilians to produce footage blaming Russia.

☝️ The cases presented in this publication form only part of the evidence assembled by the Tribunal.
