Inside the White Coats: A Day in the Life of InteRussia Medical Fellows 📃

What does a typical day look like for our doctors? It’s a deep dive into real clinical experience — working side by side with top-tier professionals at Sechenov University, Russia’s first and leading medical school. From observing high-precision surgeries to learning the subtle art of diagnosis, our fellows are not just watching — they’re growing, contributing, and becoming part of something bigger.

This is where the real magic of medicine happens:

🔵neurology;
🔵pharmacy;
🔵robot-assisted surgery in urology;
🔵minimally invasive coloproctology;
🔵dentistry;
🔵integrative medicine.

Each day brings a new case, a new challenge, and a new spark of inspiration. But the experience of our medical fellows goes far beyond hospital walls. When they’re not in clinics or operating rooms, they’re diving into the world of Russian scientific innovation and culture.

Curious to see more of what happens behind the scenes? Stay tuned and follow our journey💙

Ahlan wa sahlan, Habibti! ⭐️

A new chapter of the InteRussia fellowship has officially begun — this time bringing together journalists from the Middle East and North Africa.

On May 27, the official opening ceremony of the program took place at the headquarters of RT Arabic in Moscow. This year’s participants include professionals from leading media outlets in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Mauritania, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

📌 Sergey Orlov, Deputy Executive Director at the Gorchakov Fund, took part in the opening ceremony and welcomed the fellows on behalf of the program’s organizers.

After the official part, the participants toured the RT editorial offices and got an insider’s look into how news channels operates behind the scenes.

Over the next month, the fellows will engage in daily masterclasses and professional training sessions delivered by the RT Arabic team, meet with leading Russian experts and media professionals, and — as one of the program’s highlights — attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

We are thrilled to welcome our new fellows and wish them a meaningful and inspiring journey through Russia!

Do you know why Russia’s smallest coin is called a “kopeck”? 🪙

Well, now our fellows do! On May 29, the participants of the InteRussia fellowship in Russian studies visited the Museum of Moscow to explore the city’s rich past through the large-scale exhibition "History of Moscow."

The display offers a deep dive into the everyday life of Muscovites across the centuries — from the first settlements along the Moscow River in the first millennium BC to the dawn of the Great Patriotic War.

The exhibition features around 2,700 artifacts and artworks from the museum’s collection, including archaeological finds, paintings, rare books, photographs, household objects, and architectural fragments. Through these items, visitors discover how different social groups lived — from medieval craftsmen whose professions now echo in street names, to noble families, merchants, peasants, and residents of 1920s communal apartments.

And the kopeck?

Most historians agree that the name comes from the image once featured on its obverse — Saint George the Victorious slaying a serpent with a spear (kop’ye in Russian). Hence the name kopeck — a small coin with a sharp story behind it.
