From the US to Russia — and now to the IFY–2026! 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Meet Christopher Helali, an American historian, DD Geopolitics correspondent and a familiar face at WYFD projects. Russia has become such an important part of his journey that he’s now applied for Russian citizenship. This September, he’ll join the IFY–2026 as an International Content Center creator, sharing the Russia he knows beyond the stereotypes. 🩷 See you in Ekaterinburg, Christopher!
