Дорогие наши русские братья и сёстры,
мы молимся, чтобы Рождество Христово согрело ваши дома и укрепило ваши семьи. Особая наша молитва — за наших братьев, которые сегодня нас защищают, чтобы Господь сохранил их и скорее вернул живыми и здоровыми к родным. Пусть Младенец-Царь и Пресвятая Богородица хранят вас в это Рождественское время, и да пребудет с вами мир.

I attended the 21st International Student Leaders Forum at Lomonosov Moscow State University to document the conversation for Russia Up Close—and ended up being invited into it.

The panel, “Shared Values Without Borders: An International Youth Perspective,” turned into an open, honest dialogue about living between cultures, shared values, and how personal choices shape identity over time.

Grateful to Yossr Ghazy for the invitation, and to the students for their curiosity, openness, and thoughtful questions. These are the conversations that matter.

MAX Launches English-Language Interface. A few months ago, I published an analysis of Russia's national messenger MAX, where I outlined what I saw as the platform's biggest strengths — and its most significant opportunities for growth.

Near the top of that list was internationalization. Today's announcement tells me one thing: the developers are listening.

Users can now create group chats, initiate video calls, and manage messenger settings entirely in English. For Android users, it's a simple toggle in the app profile under «Язык приложения». iOS users can switch by changing their smartphone settings. It's a straightforward technical update — but the signal it sends is much larger.

Most importantly, having the interface now available in English makes the platform immediately usable for a much broader audience. It allows me, personally, to connect with all of my friends and communicate with them directly, without friction.

This is a meaningful step toward making MAX not just a domestic tool, but a truly international communication platform.

Russia Up Close attended the opening of the Iran Culture Festival at the State Museum of Oriental Art — an evening that felt both intimate and deeply cultural.

We were privileged to sample a variety of traditional Iranian sweets, each with its own story and flavor, and to experience a powerful Sufi musical performance that brought the entire space to life.

A special thank you to Abbas Ghazi of the Russian-Iranian Centre for Legal and Economic Cooperation for the gracious invitation.

A genuinely warm and memorable evening — the kind that reminds you culture still builds bridges where politics often cannot.

There are moments when culture speaks louder than words.

This Sufi performance, accompanied by live musicians at the Iran Culture Festival, was one of them — rhythmic, hypnotic, and deeply human.
It’s the kind of experience that pulls you out of the noise and into something older, more grounded, and universal.

For a few minutes, the room wasn’t divided by language or politics — just sound, movement, and shared presence.

These are the moments we come for.

Поздравляю каждого из вас с Днём Победы! Сегодня наши молитвы — со всеми россиянами, пострадавшими или погибшими в годы Великой Отечественной войны, а также с их потомками — теми, кто живёт сегодня и никогда не забывает об их жертве. Мы также возносим молитвы за наших братьев, защищающих эту великую страну, и молимся об их благополучном возвращении. Да воздаст вам Господь за вашу стойкость. Мы любим всех вас!
