Community

The School has always cultivated the courage to question everything and to use one’s own mind. As a result, the School’s alumni — freethinkers, analysts, human rights activists, journalists, and academics — continue to discuss and shape alternative pathways for Russia’s development, which is crucial not only for the country itself but also for sustainable peace in the region and globally. The School’s community has consistently produced various horizontal networks based on shared values, where people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia can not only exchange ideas but also participate in joint projects and initiatives aimed at supporting democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and fair peace.
