Welcome! 

The Bear Market Brief is a project of the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s (FPRI) Eurasia Program that brings you news about Russia’s economy, politics, business, and political risk environment. 

We’re a team dedicated to making Russia and Eurasia more accessible.

Bear Market Brief features a weekly newsletter and a monthly podcast that strives to be a resource for specialists, generalists, and anyone with an interest in the post-Soviet space. We provide a platform for analysis, particularly for emerging area experts and academics, and a space for even-handed, fact-based conversations in hopes of improving Russia/Eurasia analysis and coverage. 

We’re here to keep you ahead of the curve and spot what most in the English-language media aren’t talking about.
