WHAT WE DO
We are a data-driven center at The George Washington University that advances evidence-based research and translates it into policy analysis on Russia, while training the next generation of scholars in innovative, accessible digital methods for studying semi-closed societies.
Data & Tools
We develop digital research methods that address the inaccessibility of fieldwork in Russia and equip scholars without technical expertise to use cutting-edge tools for conducting social, political, linguistic, and economic research.
We publish preprints—timely, evidence-based studies released ahead of formal reviewed publication in accessible language—to give scholars and policymakers early access to new data and analysis on Russia’s politics, society, culture, and global role.
Every day, our projects generate knowledge—through Russia.Post op-eds, data releases, oral history interviews, and publications across other outlets. We share these insights in clear, accessible ways to keep you informed with reliable, academically grounded analysis.
