Russia Insider A Western view of Russia, without the anti-Russian bias. Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RussiaInsider You can write us at [email protected]

This site got started in March 2014, when a group of expats living in Russia for many years began thinking about what we might do to address a worsening and dangerous problem. The problem is that the western media present an inaccurate, incomplete, and unrealistically negative picture of Russia, and an incorrect narrative of the past 20 years, since the fall of communism. It seems to us that this

has led to profound policy mistakes by the US and Europe, confusion and misperception. Russia is a much more appealing, compelling, and complex story than what is being reported. We are private publication, funded by its founders, independent of any governments or institutions. Our core contributors come from business, finance, journalism, academia and diplomacy, and we tend to be slightly right of center, in an American and European context. The site reflects my personal views, but we endeavor to be reasonable and fair, providing as many facts as possible. We believe objectivity is a worthy ideal, yet opinion makes for more interesting journalism, and seek to strike a balance between the two. If you would like to contribute to what we do, you are warmly welcome.

Now here's a juicy little fundraiser:

At just 9 years old, Sofia Shedlovska fled Ukraine with her father, leaving everything behind. Now 12, she’s on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, where they work tirelessly to rebuild their lives while struggling to make ends meet.

Sofia is bright, joyful, and endlessly curious. She taught herself English in a single year, loves history so much she once jumped for joy over history books, and was a competitive gymnast in Ukraine.

Today, though, she’s stuck in one of the lowest-ranked schools in the country — facing bullying, lacking challenges, and missing the opportunities she deserves.

With the right support, Sofia will not only overcome these obstacles — she will thrive. Every donation goes directly to her tuition, opening the door to a brighter future.
