"For young people, who form an important part of our target audience, we run several special projects, such as the BRICS Bloggers Team and the BRICS View section of short videos on national traditions and culture. Moreover, university students and young professionals can directly receive assistance and comments from leading experts of the BRICS+ countries through the TV BRICS website", Anna LisinaEditor-in-Chief of the TV BRICS website said.
