  • The changing media landscape and importance of online platforms in breaking news coverage.
  • Internet policy in Russia and its effect on bridging the digital divide and developing the freedom of speech practices.
  • Information security and cyber-warfare.
  • The landscape of Russian and Russian-language online communities.
