InteRussia Fellows in International Relations Visit National Centre "Russia"

International Relations
What if you could cross Russia in just a couple of hours?

Yesterday, our international relations fellows did just that — not by plane or train, but by visiting the immersive exhibits of the Russia National Centre.

The Russia National Centre is a cultural and educational hub designed for everyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Russia and its rich, diverse culture. Think of it as Russia’s story, told in 360°.

First, the InteRussia participants made a journey through Russia’s regions — from Kamchatka’s volcanoes to the golden churches of historic cities. They explored Arctic research and space missions, walked through Siberian tech hubs, and discovered the vibrant traditions of the North Caucasus.

It wasn’t just about learning facts — it was about getting a feel of just how vast and different Russia truly is.

Then the group dove into the architectural DNA of the nation, discovering how Russia’s changing skylines reflect its shifting identity. Towers, domes, bold lines, and quiet symmetry — every structure had its story.

In just a few hours, our fellows traveled through time and space, from ancient traditions to modern innovation. It was a glimpse into a living, breathing Russia that never stops evolving.
The InteRussia fellowship in international relations is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and MGIMO Institute for International Studies with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
