My name is Sofya Aydinyan, I am 22 years old, and I live between Moscow and Yerevan. I was born and raised in Russia, and from a young age, I stayed connected to my Armenian roots through family, cultural activities, and Sunday school at the Armenian Embassy.

In 2025, I graduated with honors from the Faculty of International Law at MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations). Currently, I am taking a gap year to work in consulting, prepare for my Master’s admission, and remain active in the Armenian community. 

I serve as head of the youth movement for scientific work within the Association of Armenian Lawyers, where I focus on engaging young Armenian lawyers in research and building a strong, competitive community of professionals both in Russia and abroad. 

As a Diaspora Youth Ambassador from Russia, I aim to promote collaboration between Armenian youth and international opportunities, supporting academic and professional development.
