Beyond Expectations: Exploring the Soul of Chechnya 🔆

Some trips do more than just show you new places — they change how you see the world. As part of the fellowship, our journalists visited the Chechen Republic, a region where deep-rooted traditions and a strong cultural identity meet a bold, forward-thinking spirit.

Here’s a glimpse of what they experienced:

🟡At the Russian University of Special Forces, fellows saw up close how discipline and focus are forged through tough, hands-on training.

🟡In Shali, they visited the "Pride of Muslims" Mosque — the spiritual heart of the region — and spoke with the mosque’s imam and Deputy Mufti of Chechnya about unity and tradition.

🟡During a meeting with the Minister of National Policy, Foreign Relations, Press and Information, the group explored Chechnya’s history, its current challenges, and how the republic is shaping its voice on the world stage.

🟡They even stepped into the spotlight themselves during a talk show on GTRK Grozny, sharing their impressions.

Chechnya surprised our journalists — with its warmth, its stories, and its people. What you see in photos only scratches the surface of the actual beauty of this place.

From Around the World to Siberia: Engineers' Journey Begins ⭐️

This week, a new chapter began at Novosibirsk State University — the official launch of the InteRussia fellowship for young engineers from Albania, Bangladesh, Belarus, Chile, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Serbia, Tanzania, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan specializing in AI in Medicine and Modern Quantum and Information Technologies in Electronics and Photonics.

In just a few days, our fellows have already begun exploring Siberia and its research ecosystem. Their first week included:

🔻a visit to the Technopark of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok to explore innovation hubs and scientific centers;

🔻a walking tour through Akademgorodok;

🔻and an excursion to the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, where they discovered groundbreaking advancements in genetics and medicine, as well as had the chance to get up close and personal with some of the amazing animals.

What’s Next?

Over the course of the month, the fellows will participate in advanced training modules, attend expert-led workshops, and dive into lab-based research alongside leading scientists. They’ll also work on projects, connect with local researchers, and present their findings at the end of the program.
