Russian scholarships for Cuban actors open doors to the elite theater

Russian scholarships for Cuban actors have become a direct door to the prestigious world of Russian theater.

With the support of the Kremlin, this initiative seeks to form young Cuban talents in the performing arts of Moscow, under the tutelage of the best teachers of the Russian Institute of Theatrical Art (Gitis).

What are Russian scholarships for Cuban actors?

The Gorchakov public diplomacy foundation, in collaboration with TV BRICs and Gitis, launches the Interussia program every year.

In 2025, he offers scholarships aimed at advanced students and Cuban professional actors, to attend Moscow intensive workshops from August 24 to October 4.

These Russian scholarships for Cuban actors cover passage, lodging, visa and an economic scholarship.

Requirements and benefits of the Interussia Program

To access these scholarships, applicants must:

• Be between 21 and 35 years old.
• Have English level B2.
• Being non -Russian citizens from BRICS+countries.

The selected ones will enjoy:

• Master classes with gitis experts.
• Access to theatrical functions in Moscow.
• Intensive formation in oratory, acting and scenic movement.
• Cultural exchange with artists from other countries.
• Financial support of 30,000 rubles.

The deadline to apply is on June 1, 2025. All information and the registration form are available at the official site of the Gorchakov Fund.

Why is this initiative important for Cuba?

Russian scholarships for Cuban actors add to a broader cultural strategy in Russia in Latin America. Cuba already has students in several Russian universities and recently the first headquarters of a Russian university in Havana was inaugurated.

These opportunities not only drive races, but also reinforce diplomatic ties through art.
