This new department will certainly contribute to the University’s positive trend, he remarked. Artem Malgin described MGIMO’s long-running and fruitful cooperation with corporations, which started with the energy sector (Rosneft, Transneft) and rapidly expanded to other companies such as Rostec, ADV and Microsoft.
