- The SPIEF platform gave me, as a future journalist, an opportunity to understand how the media kitchen works from the inside, as at the Forum representatives of various types of press can fully communicate with high-ranking guests and political analysts, take comments and interviews, and get answers to questions on hot topics. In addition to communication, SPIEF is a kind of the country's program for future development, because it is on its basis that dialogues between countries take place, which allows journalists to be in the thick of things and feel the pulse of real news. For me, participation in the Forum is the trust of the organizers, as 34 countries participated in the event represented by media representatives, and the number of participants exceeded 4 thousand people, and I was lucky to be one of them, - Ruslan shared.


In addition to Ruslan, the Higher School of Press and Media Technologies was represented at SPIEF by Yelena Isaeva, a Sirius alumna. She worked at the Forum at the invitation of Roscongress. Elena is now in the process of promoting her own brand of dairy products. - At SPIEF I was making professional connections, looking for internship opportunities in large companies and contacts of dairy producers to implement my project. I managed to communicate with the founder of Future Today, Denis Kaminsky, with whom I discussed the possibility of an internship. We exchanged contacts, and now I am waiting for feedback. In the mentor lounge I met Dmitry Mamaev, the first deputy director of the Rosmolodezh.Business and Rosmolodezh.Career tracks. They also discussed internships in their divisions. With Alexander Mostovshchikov, a representative of Delovaya Rossiya, we talked about possible assistance in promoting my brand, namely to connect me with dairies. Another important contact for me was Oleg Kapitonov, a representative of the it sphere, and his help with access to Vkusvill. Now with the team we are preparing a letter to him, - said Elena.
