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.

Is Stanislavski still the key to understanding modern theatre? 🎭

For many actors around the world, his name is almost synonymous with Russian theatre. But the theatre Stanislavski knew is long gone — so what has remained of his system, and what has changed?

That became the starting point for the round table “Between Stanislavski and the Present Day: Where Is Theatre Heading?”, held at the K.S. Stanislavski House-Museum on September 24.

The discussion brought together:
📌 Director of the Moscow Art Theatre Museum Pavel Vashchilin,
📌 theatre scholar Pavel Rudnev,
📌 three InteRussia fellows representing different theatre traditions — from Ethiopia, China and Brazil.

As Pavel Vashchilin put it: “Theatre knows no borders. The best way to prove it is to bring together people who speak different languages but think in the language of the stage.”

Before leaving, the fellows explored the House-Museum, visiting Stanislavski’s study and the historic interiors of his Opera Studio. They also saw the first Russian edition of My Life in Art, now on display at the museum.

And what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear “Russian theatre”? 🩵

The Final Note ✨

Six weeks of rehearsals and total immersion in the theatre world have led to this moment. Today, the InteRissia theatre fellows close their fellowship by bringing Chekhov to life in their native languages.

Our fellows presented the excerpts from the Chekhov’s play “Proposal” in their mother tongues, showcasing that art is beyond any borders.

Showing you the preparation for the performance ❤️
