On July 9, participants of the InteRussia programme met with Alexey Maslov, Director of the Institute of Asian and African Studies at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

"Meeting with Dr. Maslov at Lomonosov Moscow State University was truly a remarkable experience. He was not only insightful and analytical but also had a genuine passion for sharing his knowledge about China and Southeast Asia. I was impressed by his ability to explain complex concepts, such as "The ring, the road", in a clear and concise manner. One hour was not enough for our conversation, truly!" — Quang Bui, TV Anchor and correspondent at VTV, shared his impressions.

On July 10, the fellows visited the Institute of China and Contemporary Asia, where they had a fruitful conversation with Elena Burova, Research Fellow of the Center for Vietnam and ASEAN Studies.

"Participating in this fellowship gave me the opportunity to meet many experts, including Ms. Burova. I was interested in the lecture material she presented, especially the economic relations between Russia and Indonesia. She made me want to dig more into the issue of the Indonesia-Russia free trade agreement, which has not yet been reached. I will be happy to ask for her opinion on various issues not only in the context of Indonesia-Russia but also Russia-ASEAN," — Khairisa Ferida, Deputy Editor at Liputan6, noted after the meeting.

The InteRussia fellowship programme in journalism is implemented by ANO "Mezhdunarodniki" in collaboration with the Gorchakov Fund, the International Information Agency and Radio "Sputnik," and Rossotrudnichestvo, with grant support from the Presidential Grants Fund.
