After twenty-eight years, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was forced to close its Moscow center at the direction of the government of the Russian Federation.
Washington, DC - After twenty-eight years, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was forced to close its Moscow center at the direction of the government of the Russian Federation.
“We regret the Russian government’s decision to close our Moscow center and believe this step will only deepen Russia’s international isolation,” said Tino Cuéllar, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “The Carnegie Endowment was the first independent think tank to open in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union and since then consistently set the standard for objective policy analysis in Russia. As an institution dedicated to advancing international cooperation and peace through independent analysis and innovative strategic thinking, we remain true to our principles and steadfast in our commitment to the mission we’ve had for more than a century. Our worldwide network of scholars, including leading experts from Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union, will continue to tackle the urgent issues facing this region and the world.”
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a nonpartisan international affairs think tank with a global network of experts. In an increasingly crowded, chaotic and contested world and marketplace of ideas, the Carnegie Endowment offers decisionmakers global, independent, and strategic insight and innovative ideas that advance international peace.
