The Digest

The R.Politik Weekly Digest was launched in September 2023 as a result of high demand for a more frequent and brief review of Russian political events. It is dispatched every Monday. 

This digest provides sharp analyses, focusing on the week's current events by elucidating their implications and delivering contextual interpretations. It condenses comprehensive information into concise summaries, aiming to supplement the Bulletin's content and its thorough examination of more substantial developments.

On our website, readers can freely access Digests that are more than three months old. For more recent issues, a subscription is required.
