For more than two decades, the Carnegie Moscow Center has been a leading source of analysis on Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The Carnegie Moscow Center publishes work in Russian and English. Our work covers a broad array of issues, including domestic politics, societal trends, economics, foreign policy, and nuclear nonproliferation.

The center’s scholars come from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. They are united by their commitment to in-depth, evidence-based, and nonpartisan research on a broad range of regional and global challenges. Our scholars combine unparalleled local and regional expertise with a global perspective.

Established in 1910 by Andrew Carnegie, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace seeks to advance the cause of peace and draws upon the collective resources of scholars and practitioners located in Carnegie centers in Beijing, Beirut, Brussels, Moscow, New Delhi, and Washington.
