• Study on humanitarian influence of Russia on residents of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine

Recently, Centre of the Eastern European Policy Studies (CEEPS) produced a study on Russia’s humanitarian influence on people in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. This influence is targeted through different cultural activities, as well as through Russia’s and local Russian speaking mass media. According to CEEPS, the people in those countries are speaking very good Russian and therefore are receptive towards this information. CEEPS warns about the long term plans of a neighbouring country, although Russian culture in general should not be seen negatively.
