The InteRussia Fellowship in International Relations Starts at MGIMO University 💗

On March 20, the MGIMO Institute for International Studies hosted the official opening of a new wave of the InteRussia fellowships for foreign specialists in international relations.

Lyana Dymova, Academic Programs Coordinator at the Gorchakov Fund, welcomed the participants, stating,

The InteRussia fellowship is not just about academic achievement; it is also about cultural exchange and mutual understanding. You are here not only as scholars and researchers but also as representatives of diverse cultures, and traditions, and this communication contributes to a safer world where we would probably better understand each other.

Our new fellows were also addressed by

🖇Andrey Baykov, Vice-Rector for Research at MGIMO University,
🖇Irina Bolgova, MGIMO Deputy Director of the Institute for International Studies.

The eighth cohort of the InteRussia fellowship in international relations includes young professionals from Argentina, Cambodia, the Czech Republic, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. Over the course of the six-week program, under the guidance of MGIMO’s leading scholars, they will develop and defend individual research projects.

InteRussia is not just a fellowship but also a global community of talented specialists in various fields. Join us to grow professionally together with us!

🎭 Happy World Theatre Day!

At InteRussia, we have a deep love for theatre — for its power to move, to teach, and to bring strangers closer. Theatre is where stories come alive, where emotions have no borders, and where cultural exchange happens in real time. For us, it’s not just an art form — it’s a shared heartbeat between nations.

Today, we’re celebrating by sharing something special 💌

"Worthy of Applause: New Roles for BRICS+ Actors" — a documentary about our 2024 fellowship in theatre arts. The film follows participants from Brazil, India, Argentina, South Africa, Iran, and China as they dive deep into Russian stagecraft, attend master classes, and reflect on what theatre means in their cultural contexts.

📎 Watch it on the TV BRICS website.

And don’t forget — the call for applications for the InteRussia fellowship in theatre is still open! Actors from BRICS+ countries can apply until June 1, 2025. The new chapter begins this August in Moscow.

➡️ Let the stage be your platform. Join us!
