Russian students from the Faculty of Humanities at the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" are currently interning at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI). Nine students are participating, with eight joining remotely and one attending in person. During an online welcome session led by AGMI Director Edita Gzoyan, she extended her best wishes for their internship, expressing the museum's interest in the collaboration and its aspirations for future cooperation.

After the welcome, the students took a virtual tour of the Armenian Genocide Museum, exploring both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Harutyun Marutyan, Head of the AGMI Department of Repressions of Armenians in Artsakh, Nakhichevan, and Azerbaijan's other regions, conducted an online session with the students. He discussed the history of the Armenian Genocide Memorial's construction and its significance in commemorating the events of the Armenian Genocide.

As part of their internship, the Russian students will develop a temporary online exhibition focusing on Russia's relationship with the Armenian Genocide, applying the knowledge and skills gained during their time at AGMI.
