At the Right Time and Place: Evgeny Akulov on his Studies at HSE University and Love for Debates

The hero of the April interview is Evgeny Akulov, a 2021 graduate of the bachelor's programme 'Political Science and World Politics' and a 2024 graduate of the master's programme 'Comparative Politics of Eurasia'. He is sure that political science is not about 'politics', it's about a mindset, analysis and an ability to debate correctly. Back in school, Evgeny took an interest in debating—and this hobby has turned into a profession. At HSE University, he became the head of the club 'HSE Debating Society' ('ВШЭсть') and took part in championships, including a world one. Now, he teaches others how to debate and helps speakers to perform confidently and persuasively. Why does a political scientist need debates? How does the experience in debating help in your career and life? Why is public speaking not a 'natural-born talent' but a skill which can be developed? Read on to find out the answers to these questions and much more.
