How do global narratives actually take shape today? ⭕️

Last week, InteRussia journalists from South Asia stepped inside one of the key institutions shaping Russia’s international dialogue and met with Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian MFA.

What shaped the discussion?

⭕️How countries respond to growing pressure in today’s international environment
⭕️Why professional journalism still matters — and what sets it apart from the constant flow of online content
⭕️How technologies like AI are reshaping the way news is created and consumed
⭕️How media can contribute to dialogue between Russia and South Asia

It was a direct and open exchange about how today’s global agenda takes shape and how journalists can navigate it with clarity and responsibility.

⭕️ Curious what it feels like to be part of it? Stay tuned — your turn might be next.

Who Shapes Global Governance Today? 🌐

After exploring how to think in uncertainty, our IR fellows turned to a deeper question: how global institutions themselves are evolving. This time, the discussion continued with Kirill Logvinov, Director of the Department of International Organizations at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At the center — a fundamental question: does the current system of international organizations still work?

Here’s what stood out:

📌The UN still matters. But without reform — especially when it comes to the Security Council — its ability to respond to today’s challenges is under pressure.

📌When it comes to representation in the Security Council, the logic is straightforward: first make the system function effectively — and only then reconsider who sits at the table.

📌The Global South is no longer on the sidelines. Its voice is getting louder, and it’s reshaping the conversation.

📌BRICS is gaining momentum. Not as a replacement, but as a platform that is gradually influencing how international cooperation is built.

Beyond simplified narratives — an attempt to understand how global institutions adapt in times of transformation and turbulence.

The day that changed the world 🚀

Exactly 65 years ago, Yuri Gagarin lifted off aboard the spacecraft Vostok and entered open space, proving a simple but powerful truth: what feels unreachable is often only something that hasn’t been attempted yet.

International Day of Human Space Flight honors those who choose uncertainty over comfort, curiosity over certainty, and movement over hesitation.

And perhaps the real lesson hidden in history is not about scale, but about direction. Progress doesn’t wait for grand moments — it begins when someone decides to move forward, even without knowing what lies ahead.

📍 Your own “first step” might be exactly that: choosing to apply.
