On April 25, the official closing of the first round of the InteRussia fellowships in international relations took place.

The program may be officially over, but its impact is just beginning. The ideas, networks, and memories built during these weeks will continue to shape our fellows’ professional journeys for years to come.
The InteRussia fellowship program 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.
Here’s what our fellows were up to over the course of six weeks:
- they developed research papers focused on the political dynamics of the Global South under the academic guidance of the MGIMO Institute for International Studies's experts;
- joined the IMEMO International Young Scholars Conference, diving into global development models and debating bold ideas with experts and peers from across the world;
- engaged in an in-depth discussion with Fyodor Lukyanov and explored Russia’s media and innovation hubs through visits to RT headquarters and Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology;
- immersed themselves in Russia’s rich cultural heritage — from the emotional performance of Giselle ballet to discovering the country’s vastness at the Russia National Center.
The program may be officially over, but its impact is just beginning. The ideas, networks, and memories built during these weeks will continue to shape our fellows’ professional journeys for years to come.
