About

CORUSCANT, the Research Collective on Contemporary Russia for the Analysis of its New Trajectories was launched in autumn 2023. The Paris-based multidisciplinary collective proposes to rethink research about contemporary Russia, as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine is challenging traditional methods and questions on the country.
