“The Alfa Fellowship was without doubt one of the most enriching years of my life. It gave me the chance to improve my Russian, to interact with a wide range of native speakers, but also to better understand the country through interacting with experts, academics and professionals, and to spend time with people who share my fascination with Russia.”

“The program has been a singular and unquestionably beneficial experience for me personally, especially with respect to my legal career. I have advanced professionally and deepened my social contacts in Russia while making what I hope to be long-term friends in the form of fellowship classmates.”
