Since 1993, The Russian-American Chamber of Commerce® has conducted a dynamic research program focusing on business and economic issues between the United States and Russia. The Chamber has issued numerous publications and undertaken many research projects including research papers; regional profiles; lecture series on topics of interest to U.S.-Russian business; research findings published in The Russian Commerce News; a three-volume book, The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Doing Business with Russia; and much more.

      The goal of our Applied Business Research Center (ABRC) of The Russian-American Chamber of Commerce® is to produce vital research of interest to U.S.-Russian business activities, and to understand better the Russian business environment for foreign investors and the American business community.

      The mission and objective of the ABRC is threefold. First, to produce applied research of interest to U.S.-Russian business activities. Second, to promote a better understanding of the Russian business environment for foreign investors and the American and Western business community. Third, to encourage an emphasis on up-to-date futurist thinking, i.e., forecasting future developments in politics, economics, social trends and U.S.-Russian relations. This Denver-based think tank is the only U.S. research facility to focus exclusively on applied research in the area of U.S.-Russian commercial relations.

      The ABRC is based out of the Chamber National Headquarters in Denver and our Leadville residence facility. Internships and scholars-in-residence opportunities are available through the ABRC, both in downtown Denver and Leadville, Colorado.
