      The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs representative office in Nizhny Novgorod summed up the results of the XXI interregional competition "I Want to Become a Diplomat." The solemn award ceremony for the winners took place on July 1 at the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. The competition is organized for 11th graders who show interest in languages, history, foreign policy, and diplomacy. Finalists receive additional points for their Unified State Exam (USE) results, while winners gain the right to study for free in the "International Relations" program at one of the partner universities of the representative office: Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N. I. Lobachevsky (NNGU) or Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after N. A. Dobrolyubov (NGLU). In 2026, more than 70 schoolchildren from the regions of the Volga Federal District, including Mordovia, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kirov regions, participated in the competition. Additionally, for the first time, the Northwestern Federal District joined the event: high school students from the Komi Republic also competed for points and budget places. The competition took place in three stages. First, participants wrote essays on the topic "Why do I want to become a diplomat?", then studied digital diplomacy and underwent testing. Following two qualifying rounds, 8 finalists were determined. On July 1, the representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nizhny Novgorod, Sergey Malov, conducted interviews with them and, together with the rectors of NNGU and NGLU, Oleg Trofimov and Nikita Avralev, awarded the winners and prizewinners. The right to study for free at NNGU was granted to Maxim Malyshev and Timur Smirnov, and at NGLU to Roman Poturov and Daniil Shepilov. Additional points for the USE were earned by Daniil Pakhomov, Ivan Shashin, Varvara Andriyashkina, and Yana Shchulepova.

      Throughout the entire duration of the interregional competition "I Want to Become a Diplomat," more than 750 schoolchildren have participated, with 75 of them becoming winners. Over 100 graduates of Nizhny Novgorod universities work in Russian embassies and consulates abroad, in the central office of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow, as well as in territorial bodies.
