ASU Students and CITS Staff Participate in International Interpreting Model UN at MGLU, Moscow

From 19 to 22 May 2025, students of Astrakhan Tatishchev State University, guided by Elena Yakovleva, Senior Specialist of the Caspian Higher School of Interpreting and Translation, participated in the 5th International Interpreting Model UN held at Moscow State Linguistic University.

The Model UN is a prestigious event that combines features of an international conference and a role-playing game and annually brings together future diplomats, interpreters, and international relations specialists from around the world. A key element of the event is simultaneous interpretation into 4 languages.

Angelina Malova, Yana Pendeleeva, and Dmitry Kuzmin, students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages, performed simultaneous interpretation of all sessions and discussions. Students of the Faculty of Economics and Law, Ekaterina Karandukhova and Ksenia Tarasova, performed successfully as delegates, demonstrating a thorough comprehension of international issues and diplomatic skills.

“Work in the simultaneous interpretation booth is not only an invaluable experience but also a great responsibility. We are very happy that we could contribute to the success of such a large-scale international event,” shared Angelina Malova.
