The Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISCRAN) firmly occupies a leading place among research institutes, becoming a kind of “think tank”, i.e. a community of renowned experts in the study of the United States of America and Canada. The Institute was founded in 1967 by Academician GA. Arbatov, who headed it until 1995, when the director was Doctor of History SM. Rogov. ISCRAN is one of the main centers for developing recommendations for high-level state structures on internal, external and military policy, on the problems of economic restructuring of the Russian economy.

During the existence of the Institute, its structure has changed many times, the staff has also been updated, but the high quality of the research conducted by the Institute and its practical value remained unchanged. On our website you will find information about the Institute itself, some of our latest publications, you can look at the list of some works prepared at the Institute, and learn about scientific events in ISKRAN.
