Politics in Russia: Analysis, Forecasts, and Prospects

Comprehensive Study of Political Processes in Russia

 

The “Politics” section of the Free Russia Foundation’s think tank is dedicated to a comprehensive study of political processes in the Russian Federation and their impact on the global agenda. We offer an in-depth expertise that includes:

  • Analysis of key political events;
  • Evaluation of legislative changes;
  • Study of power dynamics;
  • Interaction between foreign policy factors and domestic political processes.

Our research is based on a multi-layered analysis that helps uncover hidden interconnections and shed light on the underlying mechanisms of political power in Russia. We aim to create a holistic understanding of the country’s political landscape, its internal and external contradictions, and its opportunities.
