Lights. Camera. Action! 🎦

Last week, our fellows swapped their usual routine for a day at Gorky Film Studio — one of the most iconic names in Russian cinema history. They walked through soundstages where legendary films were born and got a rare look at how sets are built.

It's one thing to read about filmmaking, and another to stand in the middle of it. From prop rooms to production offices, the visit gave our fellows a real sense of how creative ideas turn into finished films — and a few great stories to tell ✨

From Workshops to Industrial Leaders: How the STEM Fellowship Is Going ✏️

On September 21, STEM fellows visited Astra Group — one of Russia's leading IT developers, best known for the Astra Linux operating system and other software solutions.

The company's ecosystem spans nearly every layer of the IT stack — from operating systems and virtualization to cybersecurity and enterprise tools. In recent years, Astra has shown strong growth, steadily expanding its product lineup and pursuing acquisitions, including AI development.

The fellows had a lecture on how Astra is structured, covering its product development process, internal operations, and company culture. Astra's team also shared insights from their own projects and answered questions about working in tech.

Visits like this give fellows a chance to see the industry up close — a real glimpse into what a day in the life of an engineer at a major tech company looks like 🔷

250 anniversary ✨

The Bolshoi Theatre survived fires and rebuilds. This year marks 250 years since Catherine the Great signed the decree that started it all.

Swipe through to see how the theatre in the heart of Moscow became a symbol of Russian art itself — the red-and-gold hall, the mysterious Apollo above the stages, the chandelier, and the hidden world running beneath it all.

InteRussia STEM Fellowship Concludes at Skoltech 🤖

On September 25, Skoltech hosted the closing event of the fellowship for international STEM specialists. Participants from 13 countries presented the final projects they developed over the month — from idea to working prototype.

During the programme the fellows:

➡️ worked in interdisciplinary teams
➡️ studied approaches to creating technological solutions
➡️ held brainstorming sessions
➡️ tested their ideas in practice

Among the presented projects were a device to help people with atopic dermatitis and a robotic cell for assessing gold.

The programme gave participants hands-on experience in collaborative product development and introduced them to tools for turning ideas into viable solutions. Their work will continue beyond the fellowship 💙

The InteRussia STEM fellowship is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki ANO together with the Gorchakov Fund and Skoltech as part of Rossotrudnichestvo’s New Generation initiative with support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
