InteRussia is a unique fellowship programme that helps deepen ties between Russian community of professionals and those from other countries. Our website — https://interussia.com/en
Last time, we introduced you to our future female scientists, doctors, and journalists. Now it's the male engineers' turn ⚙️
Turns out solving complex engineering problems and looking effortlessly confident aren't mutually exclusive.
Every InteRussia fellow gets the same hoodie. Somehow, every new group makes it look like it came straight from an editorial shoot. This time, our engineers had their own Vogue moment — and we were lucky enough to capture it. 📸
Who said AI can't be stylish? 🧡

Unexpected Twist: Archaeologists at a Nuclear Reactor ❓
Interussia archaeology participants visited the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics in Dubna. The laboratory is one of the scientific divisions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), an international research center bringing together scientists from around the world to conduct studies in nuclear physics and related fields.
During the visit, the fellows were given a lecture on the operation of a nuclear reactor and learned how neutron-based research methods are used to study archaeological artifacts. These techniques allow scientists to analyze the composition and structure of objects without damaging them, providing valuable insights into their origin, age and history.
The group also visited the office of the laboratory’s first director, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Frank, whose pioneering work laid the foundation for many of the institute’s scientific achievements.
The highlight of the visit was a guided tour of the reactor itself, where participants had the opportunity to see the facility close and learn more about the technologies that support both fundamental science and interdisciplinary research.
The trip offered a unique perspective on how advanced nuclear physics tools can contribute to the study and preservation of cultural heritage ☢️

📕 Let’s take a peek into the diary of one of our archaeology fellows
Recently, they left the fast pace of Moscow and set off for the Smolensk region, where the Gnezdovo archaeological complex becomes their workplace.
Gnezdovo is one of the most important archaeological sites. For our interns, it offers a rare opportunity to learn excavation techniques, work alongside professional archaeologists, and contribute to ongoing research.
We’re sharing a glimpse of the experience through the eyes of young archaeologists in the field 🌟

By tradition, on this day our fellows together with their mentors from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute gather at the monument to Pushkin in the heart of Moscow to pay tribute to his legacy through poetry, music, and literary readings.
⭕️A fellow from Senegal reflected on Pushkin’s African ancestry and the importance of this legacy for readers across the continent.
⭕️ A participant from Tajikistan read Tatiana’s famous letter from Eugene Onegin.
⭕️ A fellow from Serbia presented Tatiana’s letter in Serbian translation.
⭕️ And a participant from India performed a romance based on Pushkin’s poetry, accompanying the piece on guitar.
From poetry readings to music, the event became a reminder that Pushkin’s works continue to unite people from different countries through a shared appreciation of language, literature, and culture.
We invite you to enjoy these special moments with us ⭕️

On this day in 1963, leaders of independent African states gathered in Addis Ababa, laying the foundation for greater unity and cooperation across the African continent.
This date became a symbol of the aspirations of African nations for freedom, self-determination, and development.
Today, Africa is home to 54 countries, thousands of languages, extraordinary cultural diversity, and immense potential for future growth.
Africa is also an important part of international exchange and professional cooperation. Participants from African countries are regular representatives in our fellowship programs, bringing valuable experience.
Another important milestone will be the upcoming Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow this autumn, creating new opportunities for international cooperation and partnership.
Africa Day is a reminder of the importance of mutual respect, preserving cultural heritage, dialogue, and equal partnership across borders 🕊🌟

Engineering in practice ⚙️
Innovation, learning and a chance to discover one of Russia's leading scientific hubs — that's what awaited the InterRussia engineering fellows in Novosibirsk. Over the past few days, they explored cutting-edge technologies, met industry experts and experienced the city's unique cultural side.
During their fellowship in Novosibirsk, InterRussia participants visited the ELTEX Company, where they learned how one of Russia's leading telecom equipment manufacturers develops and produces networking solutions.
The group also spent time at the Advanced Engineering School of Novosibirsk State University (NSU), discovering how research, education and industry come together to train the next generation of engineers.
Though, it wasn't all about lectures and technology. The participants also explored some of Novosibirsk's most iconic attractions, including the city's Planetarium and the famous Zoo — a great chance to unwind, get to know the city and spend time together outside the classroom.

☕️What comes to mind when you think of Russia? The Kremlin? Snow? Ballet? 👀
For our fellows, the answer is often much more unexpected. Because InteRussia is not only about universities, research, and professional development — it's also about discovering the cultural symbols that Russians themselves grow up with.
One of them is Gzhel 💙
🔷A centuries-old tradition of hand-painted porcelain;
🔷Instantly recognizable blue-and-white patterns;
🔷One of Russia's most famous folk crafts, found in homes, museums, and souvenir collections around the world;
🔷An art form where every piece is painted by hand and no two works are exactly alike.
During their visit to the Gzhel Factory, our fellows went behind the scenes to see how a lump of clay becomes a piece of art and how master craftsmen keep this tradition alive in the 21st century.
✨ Because understanding a country is not only about learning its language or studying its history. Sometimes it starts with holding a porcelain cup, hearing the story behind a pattern, and realizing that culture lives in the smallest details.
And yes — if you join InteRussia, we'll introduce you to this side of Russia too.

Inside the Laboratories That Reveal Ancient Secrets 🔷
How do archaeologists determine the age of a wooden artifact? What can ancient pollen reveal about a civilization that disappeared centuries ago?
Our archaeology fellows found the answers during a visit to the Institute of Archaeology, where they explored the laboratories that help researchers uncover the secrets of the past.
Among the highlights:
🔘 learning how dendrochronology uses tree rings to date archaeological finds and reconstruct historical events;
🔘 discovering how spectral analysis reveals the chemical composition of ancient artifacts;
🔘 visiting metallography and petrography laboratories, where scientists study metals, rocks, and minerals recovered during excavations;
🔘 getting acquainted with the archaeomagnetic method, which allows specialists to date archaeological features by tracking changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
For our fellows, this was a chance to see how archaeology today combines history, natural sciences, and cutting-edge technologies to bring the stories of past civilizations back to life.
