What does it mean to preserve the past in a changing world?
When your journey takes you to St. Petersburg, every street feels like a story you can walk through. Last week, our fellows in Oriental Studies packed their bags, grabbed their notebooks (and umbrellas, just in case), and set off to discover the cultural capital of Russia.
So, where did their hunt for knowledge lead them?
Four days full of discoveries and inspiration — and we came back with more than just photos. We came back with new ideas. When culture, history, and international exchange come together in one place, it sparks something truly unforgettable.
The InteRussia fellowship in Oriental Studies is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
