Our Mission
We believe that Russia is a diverse and complex country in a state of major transformation, still coming to terms with its long - sometimes painful, sometimes curious - history, that cannot be understood in the context of stereotypes. We would like to present significant facts and ideas that fall under the ‘radar screen’ of major international news outlets.
We would like to serve as a guide in inviting you to discover the country and its culture for yourself, and hope that you will join our growing community of intellectuals interested in Russia by offering your ideas, suggestions and commentaries.
