About Eksperty

Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia team have built this directory to showcase experts from Russia and the Eastern Partnership and Central Asian states and increase their contribution to the international policy debate on their region.

While several analysts from these countries feature prominently on the international media and conference circuit,  through our work we have encountered many more who we believe deserve to be better known. We have invited them to add their profiles to this directory and we hope it will serve as a useful resource for media professionals, event organizers and others who seek informed analysis by experts from the region.

This project was inspired by the success of Chatham House’s Academy Robert Bosch Fellowship in highlighting the work of up-and-coming researchers from Russia and the Eastern Partnership states. The fellowship ran as part of the Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs from 2012 to 2020. During this period, it enabled 18 analysts from Russia and the Eastern Partnership states to spend several months with Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia Programme to work on a research project of their own design, build their skills and participate in the programme’s events and research.

The fellowship created an international platform for the fellows’ research, and this directory seeks to offer at least some of this enhanced visibility to their peers from the region.
