Press releases

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine jolted countries across Europe into action, but in many cases, security has been nationalised, with an overwhelming focus on deterrence and military readiness. A new KonKoop Report points to ways out of this impasse, especially in the states on NATO’s eastern flank.

A new ZOiS report takes a closer look at an understudied group – Russian Canadians – and reveals contradictory tendencies: While their political views are broadly similar to Kremlin positions, in other areas the connection to Russia is far more tenuous.

Religion is another battlefield in Russia’s war against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) has come under intense state pressure due to its perceived ties to Russia. Yet interviews with ordinary UOC members offer a more nuanced picture of the ‘Russian’ church in Ukraine.
