History

The Center for Strategic Research was registered as the foundation on 18 November 1999 and was one of the main organizations involved in drafting program for Vladimir Putin in the run-up to the 2000 presidential elections in Russia.[2] CSR leadership included German Gref as Chairman of the Board, Dmitry Mezentsev as President, and Dmitry Kozak as head of the board of trustees.[3]

In May 2000, CSR completed the program for long-term social and economic development of Russia, Strategy 2010.[4]

In 2003, Elvira Nabiullina became President of CSR.

In 2005–2014, Mikhail Dmitriev was President of the organization.

In 2014, Vladimir Knyaginin, who had previously headed a related organization in Saint Petersburg, CSR North West (Russian: ЦСР "Северо-Запад), became President of CSR.[5]

In 2015–2017, CSR under the agreement with Russia's Ministry of Education and Science[6] drafted the Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Russian Federation.[7]

On 26 April 2016, Alexei Kudrin became Chairman of the Board of CSR and Pavel Kadochnikov became President of the organization.[8] In 2016–2018, CSR worked on proposals for Russia's development strategy until 2024 and further until 2035. In late May 2017, Kudrin presented CSR's proposed strategy to President Vladimir Putin,[9] its outlines were revealed later, in September 2017.[10] In April 2018, CSR released a short version of its strategy focusing on seven strategic priorities.[11][12][13] In May 2018, speaking at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum Kudrin said that some, albeit not all, CSR proposals were included in President's recent May orders (Executive Order On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Russian Federation through to 2024[14]): "Maybe about 50 main goals and objectives were included, it's not bad, but the President promised to continue to look at what steps or reforms can be taken into account in the future."[15]
