International Relations Fellows Meet with Sergey Ryabkov

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.

Last week, International Relations fellows met with the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov.

The conversation focused on where the global system is heading:

• The shift toward a multipolar world
• Key tensions shaping the global agenda
• New approaches to security and international cooperation
• Expanding cross-regional partnerships

No scripts, no simplified answers — just a closer look at how complex decisions are approached at the highest level.

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 grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
