InteRussia

Ever wondered what happens behind the fuel pump? ⬇️

The InteRussia Energy fellows got to find out during their visit to a Gazprom Neft filling station in St. Petersburg. They managed to see how the station operates and learn about the technology that keeps everything running smoothly.

The fellows also explored the digital solutions used to monitor the station and manage its day-to-day operations. It was a chance to see the energy sector from a more familiar, everyday perspective and understand what goes into getting fuel from the supply chain to a customer’s tank.

Had you ever thought about how fuel actually gets from the station to your tank? 🙂

The InteRussia international energy fellowship programme is implemented at the premises of UNECON in cooperation with the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation, the Gorchakov Fund, and the TV BRICS international media network, supported by the Global Energy Association, the Russian Energy Agency (REA) of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the National Committee for Economic Cooperation with Latin American Countries, and the Presidential Grants Fund.

Our Fellows Are Reaching New Heights 🚀

How high can an InteRussia fellowship take you? Our fellows explored it visiting Ostankino Tower in Moscow and Lakhta Center in St. Petersburg.

🔺 Ostankino Tower

Our journalism fellows from Africa visited Ostankino Tower, one of Moscow’s most recognisable landmarks and a symbol of Russian television. Standing 540 metres tall, the tower has been an important part of the country’s broadcasting infrastructure since 1967.

🔺 Lakhta Center

Next stop: St. Petersburg — and an even higher landmark.

Our energy fellows from Latin America visited Lakhta Center, the tallest building in Europe at 462 metres. Its distinctive twisting design draws inspiration from St. Petersburg’s maritime character, with the tower’s silhouette recalling a ship and a rising spire. The complex is also home to the central office of Gazprom, one of Russia’s largest energy companies.

Ready to reach new heights with InteRussia? Apply for the fellowships and become a part of a great journey 🔆

📷 Happy World Photography Day!

On 19 August, we celebrate World Photography Day — a date linked to 1839, when the daguerreotype, one of the first practical methods of photography, was presented to the public.

For InteRussia fellowships, photography is much more than a way to document the programme. Our photos preserve everything: a spontaneous laugh, a conversation with new friends or a moment of surprise.

Our photographers are there to capture these moments and turn a fellowship experience into memories that stay long after the programme comes to an end. Today, we’re sharing some of their favourite shots — and giving a special shout-out to the talented people behind the camera. 📷✨

We thank all the photographers who worked with the InteRussia fellows 🤍

How can a fellowship in Russia shape your research — and your view of the world? ↘️

For Ladislav Zemanek, a scholar of Eastern European Studies and researcher at the China-CEE Institute in Budapest, the InteRussia Fellowship Programme at MGIMO was both an academic and personal breakthrough.

"Going to Russia myself and seeing that it's simply a normal life — that, to me, is a genuinely important takeaway".

Ladislav now sees his Russian experience as a comparative advantage and a step toward rebuilding Europe-Russia dialogue.
