Member of European Parliament Ľuboš Blaha at MGIMO🌐🇸🇰 On 22 April, Member of the European Parliament from Slovakia Ľuboš Blaha delivered a lecture to students at MGIMO University. Here is an account of how this meeting unfolded 👇🏼 The distinguished guest was welcomed at MGIMO by Stanislav Surovtsev, Vice-Rector for Youth, Social Policy and International Ties.He conveyed the Rector’s greetings and particularly noted the close ties between MGIMO and Slovakia: currently, 13 students from Slovakia are studying at the University, and many Russian students, in turn, are studying the Slovak language. ✒️Ľuboš Blaha thanked the University for the warm reception and emphasised that comprehensive cooperation between Slovakia and Russia is needed now more than ever — in all spheres, from energy and security to culture and economy.“And that is why I am deeply concerned by the rise of Russophobia that we are witnessing in the European Union,” he shared. ▪️“We live in a world where the propaganda of human rights and democracy serves only as a cover for American hegemony,” the MEP stated. “The President of the United States does not even try to hide this — he openly refuses to follow the liberal values that Washington has so actively promoted.” 🔎In the politician’s view, although many in the West focus exclusively on Russophobia, there are other voices in the academic community: John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, and others. “It is precisely they who can become the foundation for building peaceful relations in the future. To achieve this, we need to combine the three classical schools of international relations theory: Realist, Neoliberal, and Marxist.”“Hence the conclusion: a new world order can only be built on balance. And I want to remind you: Slovaks have been, are now, and will remain friends of Russia,” concluded Ľuboš Blaha. ❔After the lecture, the distinguished guest answered students’ questions. Many of these were in Slovak language — a fine MGIMO tradition: students studying the language communicate with high-ranking guests in their native tongue. Such meetings demonstrate again and again that studying at MGIMO is an excellent opportunity to speak directly with those who are already shaping world politics today. 🤝 🌐 MGIMO International (ENG) / МГИМО для иностранцев (RUS)

Members of the International Applicants Club in Moscow 🇷🇺 Join the International Applicants Club and visit MGIMO before you even apply? It's possible! ⭐For three months, the MGIMO International Applicants Club ran a Ranking Contest: the members earned ranking points by attending lectures, participating in conferences and interactive sessions, as well as engaging in discussions and hosting educational threads in the chat. More than fifty Club members took part in the contest, and all of them proved to be active, proactive, and motivated. The winners were Artem Kuznetsov (Kazakhstan), Ana Janković (Serbia), and Liya Kulmametova (Kazakhstan). They received an invitation to come to Moscow, visit MGIMO, and take part in one of the university's largest events — the university fully covered the organization and expenses of the trip, making it a well-deserved reward for their activity in the Club. 🇺🇳 The key event of the Club members' visit to Moscow was their participation in the Churkin Moscow International Model UN. For a whole week, the students took part in committee sessions of ICAO and UNESCO, as well as lectures and cultural events of the Model, trying their hand as real diplomats and getting a closer look at life at MGIMO! "The days at the Model UN are dynamic and very exciting. I learned a lot about diplomacy, the work of the UN, and teamwork, and I also met people from different countries," says Ana Janković. 🤝 The visit program included not only immersion in academic life but also meeting with university leadership. The students met with Stanislav Surovtsev, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy, Social Work, and International Affairs. During the conversation, Artem, Liya, and Ana shared their impressions of the Club and their visit to Moscow, and discussed with the Vice-Rector the opportunities available to international students at our alma mater. "MGIMO amazed me with its open and friendly community, and of course, with its scale!" shares Artem Kuznetsov. 🇷🇺The cultural aspect of the trip was just as rich! During their visit to Moscow, the students spent a lot of time walking around the city, visited iconic Moscow landmarks, and also went to the "Russia" National Centre, where they learned a lot about different corners of our country and its rich history. "Visiting Moscow was my long-held dream, and thanks to the International Applicants Club, my dream came true… I fell in love with MGIMO," admits Liya Kulmametova. We are truly delighted that the International Applicants Club became a "window" into student life at MGIMO for these students, giving them the opportunity to come to Moscow, take part in one of the university's largest events, and gain a new portion of inspiration for their studies and admission. We are sure they had many unforgettable experiences! ❤️ 👆 Just a reminder that all future MGIMO students have the opportunity to join our community for international applicants and feel like part of the MGIMO family even before they enroll! #InternationalApplicantsClub 🌐 MGIMO International (ENG) / МГИМО для иностранцев (RUS)
