Panel-survey of War-induced Russian Emigrants

I am the Principal Investigator for the OutRush project, a panel survey focused on Russian emigrants who left Russia after February 24, 2022. To date, we have collected data across three waves, involving a total of 10,000 respondents residing in more than 100 countries. The project employs a diverse range of research methods, including both experiments and qualitative interviews. Our collected data has received extensive media coverage, both in Russia and internationally. Media outlets that have cited our data include The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC, Ponars, Fortune, Meduza, and The Moscow Times, among others (see more here). Based on this data, we have published several media and policy papers and are currently preparing multiple academic papers.
