Press releases

Am 16. und 17. November diskutieren internationale Wissenschaftler*innen auf der Jahreskonferenz des ZOiS in Berlin, wie sich Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine auf konkrete Forschungsbedingungen auswirkt und was er für zentrale sozialwissenschaftliche Konzepte bedeutet.

Drawing on interviews with Russian migrants in Georgia and Germany, a new ZOiS report examines initiatives in anti-war activism. Besides providing independent information to audiences in Russia and supporting regime opponents, activists try to build new socially and politically engaged diasporic communities.

A new ZOiS Report presents results of a survey among Russians migrants in Georgia and Armenia. A majority was opposed to Vladimir Putin and made Russia responsible for the war against Ukraine. The data also indicate that their level of political activism before leaving was higher than that of most Russians.
