Today we celebrate the birthday of Victoria — the person who stood at the very beginning of InteRussia and turned an idea into a living, growing fellowship program 🎁

You don’t always see her on stage, but her presence is felt everywhere. Victoria knows every fellowship, every cohort, and every fellow’s journey. She holds the full picture — from the first application to the final success story — and makes sure nothing important is ever lost along the way.

She builds systems, supports people, and creates space where talent can grow — calmly, thoughtfully, and with purpose.

Victoria, we wish you a year filled with inspiration, meaningful projects, and moments of joy you so generously give to others. May everything you create return to you multiplied — in energy, warmth, and new bright beginnings ❤️

Last, but definitely not least 🌟

The moment has come to wrap up the year’s final fellowship, and unforgettable in its own way. Specialists from Argentina, Bolivia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan set out to gain a comprehensive overview of key Russian nuclear technologies and their practical application across various fields: in energy, medicine, agriculture, and industry.

So what shaped this experience?

🔴First — the depth of learning. Participants explored how nuclear newcomer countries build their national positions, dove into modern energy planning tools, and unpacked technological solutions related to the operation of large-capacity NPPs and SMRs, as well as peaceful nuclear technologies.

🔴Then — practice. Fellows visited the Leningrad NPP-2 with its modern Generation 3+ VVER-1200 reactors, where they were shown the control room, turbine generator unit, and cooling towers for the secondary circuit condenser.

🔴They touched history at the world’s first NPP in Obninsk, and learned about best practices in nuclear medicine and the use of radiation technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer at the A.Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Center.

🔴And for the first time ever, this program became a three-city journey — Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Obninsk — offering not just professional insight, but a deeper cultural and historical connection to the places where nuclear science was shaped.

This chapter ends — but the connections don’t. Because it builds understanding, trust, and long-term cooperation, shaping the future of peaceful nuclear technologies.

The InteRussia fellowship in nuclear technologies is implemented by ANO Mezhdunarodniki in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, with support from the ABS Electro Charity Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation. The main partner on the part of the Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation is the Rosatom Technical Academy within the framework of the "Train-the-Trainers" project.

What Does Russia’s Energy Future Look Like? ✨

Recently, our ASEAN fellows experienced Russia’s energy landscape firsthand, feeling the pulse of substations, observing how infrastructure responds to demand, and seeing how technology and policy work seamlessly together.

Here’s what that their journey looked like:

🔴The fellows met with global leaders at the XVIII International Scientific and Practical Hybrid Conference “Energetika XXI: Economy, Policy, Ecology,” dove into energy policy through open conversation with Alexey Kulapin, REA General Director, and explored emerging trends alongside the Russia-ASEAN Business Council and the Global Energy Association.

🔴From massive operations at Transneft, Rosseti, and the Skolkovo Innovation Center to the cutting-edge Intelligent Digital Network Lab and Neva Waste Processing Facility, our participants witnessed how data, automation, and sustainability converge in real time.

🔴They stepped into energy logistics on the ground at Gorelectrotrans, Zifergauz, and a Gazprom Neft fueling station in St. Petersburg, then toured the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant, gaining a close-up view of advanced nuclear operations in action.

🔴Learning also meant immersing in culture: from the Smolny Museum and meetings with city officials to the Hermitage, Mariinsky Theatre, and the Atom Museum — a deep dive into Russia’s history, science, and art.

The program once again showed that energy isn’t just wires and machines — it’s curiosity that sparks innovation, teamwork that turns challenges into solutions, and connections that carry knowledge across borders.

The InteRussia fellowship in energy sector for ASEAN specialists is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, Saint Petersburg State University of Economics, Russia-ASEAN Business Council, Global Energy Association, and Russian Energy Agency with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.

How InteRussia Unites Young Minds Shaping Global Affairs 📚

What stays with you after an intense academic journey — the knowledge you gained, the connections you built, or the perspectives that reshaped your thinking?

This autumn, Moscow became a meeting point for young IR researchers from Afghanistan, Belarus, Brazil, India, Mauritius, Mexico, Pakistan, Serbia, and Tanzania. What began as an academic program quickly turned into something more — thoughtful debates, bold questions, and new lenses on the world.

Here’s what shaped their experience:

✨As tradition goes, the fellowship centered on scientific research developed under the guidance of leading experts from MGIMO Institute for International Studies.

✨The fellows took part in the BRICS International School, exploring emerging global dynamics and exchanging ideas with peers from around the world.

✨A highlight of the program was an in-depth discussion on global politics and strategic thinking with Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, and Dmitry Trenin, Academic Supervisor of the Institute of World Military Economy and Strategy at HSE University.

✨Visits to the Russian International Affairs Council, RT Headquarters, and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology offered a closer look at how ideas move from analysis to media narratives and technological solutions.

✨Beyond сlasses, fellows immersed themselves in Russia’s rich culture and history through the Tretyakov Gallery and the ballet "Ruslan and Lyudmila."

The fellowship may have ended, but the spark it started is still going strong. Ideas are bouncing, friendships are growing, and the next adventures are already on the horizon.

Keep an eye out — the fellows’ research stories are coming soon!🪶
