Respondents to a ZOiS study in Estonia with a family background in Russia view Russia’s war in Ukraine differently from other Estonians and perceive Russia as less of a geopolitical threat.

Ukraine’s resilience in the face of Russian aggression is no myth. But there has been a tendency to portray it as something immutable and monolithic. A new report looks at how resilience manifests in specific contexts and offers advice for strengthening it in the present and harnessing it for recovery.

A new KonKoop Report points to ways out of this impasse, especially in the states on NATO’s eastern flank.
