Today’s spotlight is on the man, the myth, the meme encyclopedia — happy birthday to our very own Aleksandr Novikov! 🎉

Sanechek is more than just the curator of our International Relations and Engineering tracks — he’s InteRussia’s chief Africanist, memeologist-in-residence, and a living bridge between continents, cultures, and craft beers.

He can explain African geopolitics in flawless Czech while simultaneously ranking the top 5 lagers of the season. He brings clarity to complex regional dynamics — and perfect timing to every punchline. And when it comes to our fellows from Africa, he’s not just a coordinator — he’s their family.

Aleksandr, may your year be full of new missions to African capitals, unforgettable conversations with the brightest minds, and a never-ending supply of dark lager (ideally with the right degree of bitterness and no airport delays).

We raise our virtual mugs to you — for your humor, heart, and heroic spreadsheets 🧡
