WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2021 / The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) is honored to welcome renowned Russian economist and political scientist Dr. Vladislav Inozemtsev as a special advisor to MEMRI's Russian Media Studies Project.
Commenting on the beginning of his academic cooperation with MEMRI, Dr. Inozemtsev said: "I am hugely honored and privileged to accept the invitation to join MEMRI's team in the capacity of Special Advisor to MEMRI's Russian Media Studies Project (RMSP) and thus involve myself in the Institute's evolving Russia program." His full statements can be viewed here.
Dr. Inozemtsev is the director and founder of the Center for Post-Industrial Studies in Moscow and a member of the Scientific Council of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC). Until 2016, he chaired and taught at the Department of World Economy at Moscow State Lomonosov University's Faculty of Public Governance, and also taught at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
From December 2011 to March 2012, Dr. Inozemtsev was a senior adviser to then-Russian presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov and drafted Prokhorov's presidential platform. He served as a member of the Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation from 2013 to 2016, and from 2013 to 2014 was a senior member of the Russian center-liberal party Civilian Power. Between 2013 and 2019, Dr. Inozemtsev served as Senior and Distinguished Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C., at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, at the Polish Institute for Advanced Studies in Warsaw, and at the German Council for Foreign Affairs in Berlin.
Dr. Inozemtsev has authored more than 20 books, which have been translated into English, French, Chinese and Polish, as well as numerous articles published in Russia and abroad. He has contributed articles to leading newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Le Monde, Financial Times, The Independent, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, La Razon, La Repubblica, Gazeta Wyborcza, and on various media outlets, including Project Syndicate.
Dr. Inozemtsev adds: "In joining MEMRI's team, I hope to avoid the most typical shortcomings of current Russia studies. I will do my best to depict 21st-century Russia as it is - as a truly unique social system that should not be regarded as some 'deviation' from any possible 'norm' (à la 'imperfect democracy' or 'soft authoritarianism') and that must be studied by looking deep into its social fabric... As time passes, MEMRI's readers will draw their own conclusion as to whether I have succeeded or not."
