PRORUSS is an international research project (2020 – 2023) financed by the Research Council of Norway and led by the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR) at Oslo Metropolitan University. The main goal of the project is to provide new knowledge about how Russia pursues its interests vis-à-vis Norway and other European countries, in particular how the interaction between domestic politics in Russia and domestic actors in Russia’s European neighboring countries shapes Russia’s actions.
