The Centre for Independent Social Research (CISR) was established in 1991. In the early nineties a diversity of independent sociological research organisations appeared in the largest cities of Russia. Following their own priorities and finding themselves under the pressure of newly-forming market conditions, the majority of such organisations has focused on applied commercial research. CISR, however, has been one of the few non-state institutes in Russia engaged in both academic research as well as professional training for young researchers.
