Guys, Cheburashka is shocked by this news! 😨 The selection process for the IFY–2026 is officially complete — and the results have already made Festival history. Applications came from 191 countries, with 32 000 more applications from abroad than from Russia. That’s a first! This September, 10 000 young leaders will gather in Ekaterinburg — half from Russia and half from other countries. 1 000 of them will be teenagers aged 14–17. 😍 Very soon, they’ll meet in Ekaterinburg, make new friends, find like-minded people and start turning their dreams into reality together. We’re already counting down the days. Are you? 🩷
