Checking In From Siberia 🐻

While our journalists cover the SPIEF, let's take a moment to see what our engineers’ve been up to. Over the past week, the cohort has been hard at work, diving into an extensive program of activities.

✏️ a series of thematic lectures from leading experts at Novosibirsk State University devoted to the integration of AI in medicine, photonics, and smart city development.

🔍excursion to the Academpark technopark where cutting-edge research is being translated into real-world innovations.

🫀visite to the Institute of International Tomographic Center, where they got an inside look at how modern Russian technologies are actively improving people's health and wellbeing.

But it hasn't been all work and no play. The fellows took a refreshing break with an excursion through the beautiful botanical gardens, where the wonders of Siberian nature intertwine with the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Now, as they continue to tackle their capstone projects, we can't help but wonder – what other surprises and discoveries await our fellows?

What a day our journalists had yesterday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum! 🤩

As they gear up for Day 3, let's recap the action.

Over 15 interviews were knocked out with some major players, including Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Egyptian Minister Hala Helmy El-Said, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, and former Somali Foreign Minister Fauzia Yusuf Haji Adam.

They also grabbed face time with ambassadors from Syria and Brazil, plus religious figures like Mufti Albir Krganov and cultural heavyweights like designer Artemy Lebedev.

Not a bad haul for a day's work! Our crew is locked and loaded for more exclusive access and insights. But the excitement is just getting started with Russian President Vladimir Putin taking the stage today.⚡️

Pushkin's Birthday of a Celebration 🎉

The streets around the Pushkin statue were alive with poetry yesterday as the InteRussia fellows joined locals to honor Russia's greatest bard on his birthday.

The fellows, led by the renowned Elmira Afanasyevna from the Pushkin Institute, took center stage. Some declaimed Pushkin's verses to a captivated audience. Nerves melted away as the familiar refrains of "I Remember a Wondrous Moment" rang out in rich tones.

🔍 After the readings, the fellows were whisked off for a museum tour. Wandering among the exhibits, they delved deeper into the life, loves, and artistry of the master.

As the day drew to a close, we emerged onto the street once more, Russian literature coursing through our veins.
