About IKAR
About
The Institute for Conflict Studies and Analysis of Russia is an independent, non-profit think tank that provides policy makers, military experts, researchers and journalists with insights they need regarding Russia and security challenges emerging from its policies.
IKAR conducts comprehensive research of key processes inside Russia, its social media on the federal and regional levels. We also examine Russian propaganda within Russia, its multi-layered FIMI and hybrid operations against the EU, post-Soviet and other countries.
Our goal is a comprehensive study of Russia as a state, society and a military threat to other countries. That allows us to forecast the respective medium and long-term processes, as well as to deal with current challenges regarding efforts of Russia to strengthen its autocratic regime and to undermine stability in other countries.
Our product is an in-depth research, multidimensional trend analysis, forecasting of events and recommendations drafting. We use rigorous scientific data, verified sources and innovative methods of data collection to keep our work evidence-driven and transparent.
