Explore Policy Trends

The main goal of our project is to study policy agenda in the Russian Federation. We distinguish between two phases of the modern Russian political history and aim at analyzing them starting with the latter one:

  • 2000-2023 (Putin and Medvedev presidency)
  • 1991-1999 (Eltsin's presidency)

We focus on the the presidential, and in the future on media, governmental, and parliamentary parties's policy agenda. 

In the first stage of the project we code the Annual Presidential Addresses to the Federal Assembly (since 1993), and later turn to the coding of the party manifestos and the frontpage of the daily official newspaper of the Russian government "Rossijskaja Gazeta".
