What happens when the conversation gets real? 🌎 Our international relations and oriental studies fellows met with 🔵Feodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of "Russia in Global Affairs" journal, Chairman of the Presidium of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, and 🔵Dmitri Trenin, Academic Supervisor of the Institute of World Military Economy and Strategy at HSE University, RIAC President. It quickly became clear that this was not about listening quietly in the back row, but about stepping into a space where arguments matter more than agreement. At the center of the discussion: 🔹a world and global institutions no longer held together by familiar rules; 🔹what remains of liberalism and what is taking shape in its place; 🔹how Russia interprets and acts within today’s international system; 🔹strategic stability in a time when predictability is no longer guaranteed. No simplified narratives. No final conclusions. Just an honest attempt to make sense of the ability to think in uncertainty — and speak within it.

Kristina Mikavica’s story — the first visually impaired InteRussia fellow — is one you don’t forget⭐️ During the selection process, experts usually focus on experience, education, and motivation. Kristina had all of that in her application. But at the very end, there was one short line: “I can barely see (90% vision loss).” This detail could have gone unnoticed. Yet it became the beginning of a story that makes you rethink what we mean by “limitations” and “opportunities.” Kristina’s story is not just about a fellowship. It is an example for anyone who hesitates, postpones, or is afraid to take a step toward their dream. ➡️ Read more in the cards or on our website. 📌 And if you’re ready to take a step toward your dream, apply for the Russian Studies fellowship.
