The Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven up grain prices, disrupted value chains and threatened grain supply of countries affected by hunger. There is a serious concern that Russia – the world’s largest wheat exporter – could exploit its power as a weapon of war. How are things looking in the global grain trade?

In this episode, ZOiS researchers introduce the new project MoveMeRU, which takes a look at how memory is transmitted from one generation to the next in Russian speaking communities abroad.

It has been one year since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Our focus gathers relevant information in the form of videos, podcasts, publications and assessments of our experts in the media.

Ukrainian resistance on the battlefield is unthinkable without the resilience of Ukrainian citizens. This resilience rests on a bedrock of civil society engagement in the years since 2014, which spurred reforms and the wider societal changes that made such a coordinated response to the Russian invasion possible.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression that we condemn in the strongest possible terms. Against this background, we have decided to suspend all institutional cooperations between ZOiS and Russian state institutions. However, in the spirit of academic freedom, the academic partnerships our researchers have established with individual researchers in Russia will continue, as far as this is possible.
