Diplomacy isn’t always suits and summits. Sometimes, it is more about the feeling of curiosity when you are behind the scenes of a newsroom for the first time. Or a conversation that shifts your worldview in just one sentence. Like snowfall outside a lecture hall.
For our fellows, each day in Moscow unfolds like a new chapter in a story — full of insight, discovery, and connection. So what does their life consist of during the InteRussia program?
At RT headquarters, fellows stepped behind the scenes to see how news is crafted, challenged, and delivered to the world. Live studios, editorial debates — no filter.
In conversation with Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, the group dug into the idea of a world majority and beyond — exploring the shifting tides of global power with someone who’s helping shape the discourse.
At the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, they got hands-on with the future — experimenting with cutting-edge tools like photonics labs.
Back on campus, they dive into lectures, build research projects, and share laughter under an unexpected April snow.
From newsroom to think tank, from lab to lecture hall, the InteRussia fellowship isn’t just a program of professional development — it’s a passport to a deeper understanding of the world we live in.
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.
