@InModernRussia gave me a start when I was graduate student by publishing my writing. I was honored to be involved w this organization since then. The institution was declared an "undesirable" in 2017, which is a badge of honor, but also made the work difficult. Sad day.

We hope that our research, analyses, interviews, and other materials have helped you better understand the political, social, legal and economic mechanisms of the political regime that has developed in Russia under Vladimir Putin.

Sincerely yours,

Human Rights in Russia February-March 2022: Basic constitutional rights have been severely restricted; military censorship and the state’s monopoly on the truth have been officially introduced; freedom of speech and assembly has been completely destroyed. https://t.co/ewHGTQ91MF

By nearly every measure, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a disaster for Russia. Yet even as military losses mount and economic sanctions reduce living standards of ordinary Russians, there is little reason to believe the Kremlin will change course. https://t.co/TSFc1zaK9l

The war unleashed by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine will have grave consequences for Russia—political, economic, cultural... Modern Russia is beginning to fade into the past. https://t.co/OmxEJzCjkm

In Oct former PM Medvedev wrote an article on Ukrainian Pres Zelensky, an ethnic Jew. In addition to anti-Semitism and attempts at undermining Zelensky’s political status, it also reflects complicated attitudes toward Jews in the USSR and Russia. https://t.co/nlwAL4VeVU

On February 24, by the president’s sleight of hand, the victor nation fully established itself as an aggressor nation, writes legal scholar and professor at the Free University, Ekaterina Mishina https://t.co/d7adMhztJp

If history has taught us anything it’s that wars in Europe don’t stay in Europe. What’s happening in Ukraine might still feel far away for most Americans, but its not. The longer we wait to take decisive action to stop Putin, help Ukraine, the worse it will be when it comes here.

Cogent, world’s largest internet provider to Russia, terminates services in the country further isolating it from global online communities. So, Kremlin’s “sovereign Runet” efforts will finally get a reality check https://t.co/KB7O6QdC5J
