What do you really know about Russia beyond Moscow and St. Petersburg? 💫
On September 15, InteRussia joined the International Festival of Youth in Yekaterinburg with a session organised in partnership with the Gorchakov Fund.
Vasily Pushkov, Director of International Cooperation at Sputnik International News Agency and Radio
He spoke about common perceptions of Russia’s regions — and how different they can be from everyday reality.
How do we move beyond them? By travelling, meeting people and experiencing places first-hand.
The conversation then turned to another way of building connections — joint projects.
⭕️ Natalya Alieva, Director for Partnership Projects Development and Regional Cooperation at the Presidential Grants Foundation, announced the launch of a new grant competition for international participants.
Have an idea of your own? The competition supports projects in three areas:
🔵 biodiversity research, conservation and environmental education;
🔵 parent, family and patient communities and networks of mutual support;
🔵digital content about science, culture and everyday life.
Perhaps your idea could become the next international project?

Happy Birthday to the one, the only, Liana 🎉
Before anyone even reach Russia, they already know her name. It’s whispered in chats, repeated in old application threads, passed around like a secret: there’s Liana.
She’s the one who meets you at the airport with a smile (even at the most impossible hour), helps you choose the perfect Russian souvenir, and somehow solves every single problem that appears along the way — calmly, quickly, and like it’s the easiest thing in the world 💐
She’s a real diamond — bright, strong, and impossible to replace. And without a doubt, the true heart of InteRussia. That warm voice that lights up the room, and the quiet strength that appears the second something needs to get done. She’ll laugh with you one moment and have everything under control the next.
Liana, thank you for being the person who makes the impossible feel possible 💋
May this year bring you as many reasons to smile as you’ve given all of us 🎈

The Moscow Metro’s most beautiful stations: ‘Komsomolskaya’
This is the subway station that greets travelers and guests of the city arriving at three of the capital’s main railway terminals.
The station was opened on January 30, 1952. In the architecture of post-war USSR, the dominant style at the time was what is now called ‘Stalinist Empire’ style. It draws on classicism, antiquity, Baroque and, of course, the Empire style itself.
The vaults are adorned with bas-reliefs and mosaic panels depicting scenes from Russian history.

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. 📸

You might not know it, but there is one very specific place where everything started — and its walls still keep the secrets.
Swipe through the cards and discover the Moscow Art Theatre: the hard chairs that were never meant for comfort, the hidden box, the seagull, and the stage that changed theatre forever ✨

From the Russian Theatre Union — straight behind the curtain 🎉
After meeting representatives of the Russian Theatre Union, InteRussia fellows continued their introduction to its work at “Heritage. Theatre. Greats” — the largest exhibition project in the Union’s history, created to mark its 150th anniversary.
Built as a journey through the backstage world, the exhibition begins where audiences rarely enter — at the stage door. Across 17 thematic sections, the fellows discovered how a performance comes to life long before the curtain rises.
They explored:
⭕️ the work of theatre workshops — from costume, make-up, props, and scenery to lighting, sound, and stage machinery;
⭕️ original costumes, sets, props, and other exhibits from more than 100 theatres across Russia;
⭕️ 150 years of Russia’s theatre community, its legendary figures, theatre families, and traditions passed from one generation to another.
The route eventually leads visitors from backstage onto the stage itself — offering a chance to see theatre not only through the eyes of an actor, but through those of the many professionals whose work usually remains hidden from the audience.
