Today, the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO), is holding the first day of the Primakov Readings Youth Session attended by young researchers from different Russian regions and other states.

The welcoming remarks for the participants were delivered by:

 Feodor Voitolovsky, Director of IMEMO

The Youth Session was established as a platform for an equal dialogue between prominent scholars and young researchers, which allow not only to hear presentations by their senior colleagues, but also to present their papers and lead discussions. We wanted to bring young leaders from different countries together to continue our dialogue, and I am glad that we have succeeded.

Victoria Karslieva, Executive Director of the Yevgeny Primakov Centre

Today, you have had the opportunity to introduce yourself to a great academic history. For us, the youth session is important from the point of view of continuity and establishing contacts between you and the best minds of our country. I wish you fruitful work and interesting discussions!

Maria Khorolskaya, PhD in Political Science, Research Fellow at the IMEMO Department for European Political Studies 

In today's world, it is very easy to get bogged down in misconceptions and stereotypes about it. There are two main ways to avoid this: science and communication. Today, there will be a chance to combine these two. I encourage you not to use your timely wisely and be active!
