[Topics]Russia & CIS

Research on the former Soviet Union and Russia has been a priority since the Japan Institute of International Affairs was founded in 1959. Today JIIA periodically organizes study groups on a variety of issues relating to the transition of Russia and the newly independent states; their research findings are released as study group reports.
