For InteRussia fellows, diplomacy takes shape through direct engagement. Each cohort meets with senior officials to gain a clearer understanding of how international agendas are formed and carried forward in practice.
On April 23, our journalists engaged in a discussion with the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko, shifting the focus to Asia and the Global South.
The dialogue moved into regional dynamics:
The growing role of BRICS and South Asia
The impact of geopolitical crises on cooperation
Evolving trade and economic ties
Energy and climate challenges shaping the agenda
No scripts, no simplified answers — just a closer look at how complex decisions are approached at the highest level.
The InteRussia Fellowship for Journalists from South Asia is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Sputnik International News Agency and Radio as part of SputnikPro program with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
