Rubase: Knowledge base on Russia

Russia is back. After two decades of mutual, even if checkered, attempts at rapprochement between the West and Russia, the Russian leadership clearly opted for a more unequivocally confrontational and forceful foreign and security policy. Russia has therefore returned as one of Europe’s major defense and security challenges. Since the end of the Cold War however, the West’s body of knowledge on Russia and its international thinking had atrophied considerably. Since the beginning of the brutal war that Russia inflicted upon Ukraine, research interest has picked up again, but with very much the same tools and approaches as before. RuBase is our attempt to rectify this by bringing Russia studies in the age of artificial intelligence.
