Putin\u2019s Russia is a serious threat to liberal democ\u00adracies all over Europe. With its colonial war of aggression against Ukraine and hybrid warfare across Europe, the Kremlin is trying to stifle freedom and to undermine confi\u00addence in democ\u00adratic insti\u00adtu\u00adtions, while building a neo-total\u00adi\u00adtarian state within Russia.<\/p>\n

Our Russia programme brings together experts, politi\u00adcians, journalists, and civil society repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtives to foster a robust under\u00adstanding of Russian politics and society, and to formulate appro\u00adpriate policies towards Moscow. We also work closely with Russian human rights activists, opposition members and dissi\u00addents in exile. Our aim is an assertive European policy that can effec\u00adtively contain and deter the Russian regime, while maintaining the long-term option of political change in the country.<\/p>\n
