Welcome to the MGIMO Debate Club!

The primary goal of our debating society has always been promoting free speech and exchanging ideas through discussing various matters - from serious and urgent problems of the day to light-weighted fun issues. We strongly believe that structured intellectual discussion is of vital importance to forming civil and democratic society in post-Soviet countries.

We also aim at personal development of all our members. Debates can help improve and develop useful skills, such as public speaking, problem analysis, argumentation, critical and structured thinking. Moreover, debating different aspects of modern life broadens the mind and gives one a better understanding of the reality.

MGIMO DC has a proven record of high achievements and we are determined to maintain and develop our successes. This goal can't be achieved without new talented members. Our membership is free and open to everyone who shares our ideals and is ready to learn and to contribute. Therefore we encourage you to join MGIMO Debate Club.

Best wishes,

MGIMO Debate Club
