Re: Russia hosts an annual expert conference in Vienna, which serves as a platform for discussing various aspects of Russian social reality and its key political trends, as well as for bringing together Russian, European, and American researchers, experts, and political advisers.
Today, Russia is at a tragic turning point in its history, the ongoing events are likely to determine Russia's place in the world and its historical track for decades to come. In this context, a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the processes taking place in Russia is of critical importance.
Equally essential is dialogue and mutual exchange between Russian and Western expertise — a synergy of understanding and discourse.
Finally, the increasing opacity of the Russian state and expert environment demands special efforts to collect and analyze relevant, high-quality information.
The mission of Re: Russia. Expertise, Analysis and Policy Network is to facilitate expert and analytical discussion of the most important issues in Russian politics, economics, and society; to provide qualified monitoring of significant data, interpretations, and assessments; to foster open debate on key problems, engaging a wide range of professionals, public intellectuals, and opinion leaders both inside and outside of Russia, as well as to promote ideas and values of open society and political freedom.
We categorically condemn the war of aggression unleashed by Vladimir Putin’s regime against the people of Ukraine and its sovereignty and consider this war a crime both against Ukraine and the future of the Russian people.
