Consortium

My name in Angela and I am from Italy. I am a postgraduated student at the Higher School Economics in Moscow, where I study International Relations and European studies. I studied modern languages at the University of Venice and at the University of Bristol (Erasmus). I decided to start studying International Relations in order to study Russia-West relations more deeply. I made the decision to continue my studies in Russia because I think it is important to know Russian society, culture and language very well to better understand this country. I am very interested in the economic relations between these two areas and in particular in what concerns energy relations between Europe and Russia.

I think the Consortium is a very unique opportunity to discuss and expand my knowledge about these topics. It would also be an opportunity to better understand other (what kinds of realities - ex: economic realities)  realities and  to get to know new students interested in the same subject. In this moment of crisis between the West and Russia, I believe it is extremely important to develop a dialogue and to try to understand how we arrived at this crisis point in order to find a solution for the future.
