Russia in Global Affairs

Our Projects

1989 Revolutionary Change: Thirty Years After
December 2018 – September 2019

Russian International Affairs Council 

A series of discussions. Russia is going through a period of fundamental change of its place and role in the world. Not only the political, but also the ideological system of coordinates is changing. A new generation of people, for whom the landmark period of the 1980s-1990s is not a personal experience but a fact of history, are entering political life. These young people are more open to the world and oriented towards dialogue, yet they lack the experience of responsible interaction that their 20th-century predecessors had. Despite the current openness in communication and people’s active interaction, alienation continues to grow.

School for Scholars

Several years ago we came up against a problem: young authors having certain expertise in the subject they study cannot put it in a comprehensive and interesting text form. So, editors have to either refuse promising authors to publish their articles, or rewrite them.

Project Goal

We decided to invest our effort in training young foreign policy scientists in writing appropriate texts in various genres. In 2016, editors of Russia in Global Affairs and a team of specialists from the National Research University-Higher School of Economics (NRU-HSE) launched a “School for Scholars.” Since then the School has been admitting all those wishing to develop their skills of analytical writing and receive knowledge from merited professionals in this field. Initially, the School trained students in writing texts on different subjects, but as it gained more experience it changed the format of training and now organizes courses dealing with one specific problem. For example, the 2018-2019 course was devoted to Russia’s turn to the East, while the 2019-2020 course is designed to train those students who are interested in the analysis if military-political issues. This approach ensures a more targeted high-quality training of researchers who have already decided on their profession and line of future activity. The curriculum of each course works on a “1+1” principle: one master class given by an expert in one line of training plus one practice (skill-building) class at which the students can use the received theoretical knowledge in writing texts of different genres. The major part of master classes and skill-building sessions take place at the premises of the NRU-HSE Faculty of World Economy and International Relations.
