The Institute of Modern Russia (IMR) is a non-profit public policy organization — a think tank — which claims to be nonpartisan. It has offices in New York and Washington D.C.. It was founded on 3 February 2010, by leading experts in Russia-US relations and human rights. According to the Institute's mission statement:
"... through its research, advocacy, public events and grant-making, IMR is committed to fostering democratic values, respect for human rights and the rule of law, and the development of civil society in Russia; the promotion of a principles-based U.S.-Russia dialogue; and the integration of a modern and forward-looking Russia into the community of democracies."
However, the statement, together with its ex-patriot senior staff, their uniformly US-educated backgrounds, the locations of its offices and certain buzz-phrases such as "the community of Democracracies" above, together give the lie to its claims of being "non-partisan". In reality it is thoroughly integrated with - and thus in service to - the orthodox western world view of globalising capitalist development under the hegemonic leadership of the Anglo-US Establishment; in other word thoroughly partisan as between the Western uni-polar and the nascent Eurasian multi-polar world views.
The president of IMR is Pavel Khodorkovsky, the son of Russian former multi-billionaire Mikhail Khodorkovsky[1]; the Institute's advisors include Vladimir V. Kara-Murza, Richard Sakwa and Andrei Piontkovsky. Lyudmila Alexeyeva is a Trustee of the Institute.
IMR is a federal tax-exempt Section 501(c)(3) public charity, incorporated in New Jersey.
In partnership with the London-based Herzen Foundation, the Institute runs a special project called The Interpreter Mag, a daily online journal committed to translating Russian-language media and blogs into English and publishing original features, reports, op-eds and interviews, with the goal of making the Russian-speaking world accessible to Western journalists, analysts, policymakers, diplomats and laymen.
