I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia.
It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key...
—Winston Churchill, 1939
Welcome to the Promethean Institute for Eurasian Studies — Promeuraz.
Rigorous Research. Reliable Reporting.
The Promethean Institute for Eurasian Studies – Promeuraz – is an independent interdisciplinary think tank focused on Russia’s regions, center–periphery relations, national movements, exile politics, and the evolving political dynamics of Eurasia. Promeuraz seeks to bridge the gap between scholarship, journalism, and policy-oriented analysis through historically grounded research and reporting.
Promeuraz places particular emphasis on underreported developments that often receive limited attention within mainstream international coverage, especially those involving regional civil society, exile organizations, and political movements operating beyond Moscow-centered analytical frameworks.
Knowledge is power. In the spirit of the Promethean intellectual tradition, Promeuraz seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the political transformations shaping Eurasia and the diverse societies that inhabit it through rigorous research and reliable reporting. That is the Promethean ethos.

Promeuraz (the Promethean Institute for Eurasian Studies – Promeuraz) respects the privacy of visitors, readers, contributors, and prospective contributors. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Promeuraz may collect, how that information is used and retained, and the choices available to individuals who provide information to us.
Promeuraz (the Promethean Institute for Eurasian Studies – Promeuraz) is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Kacper Grass and based in Knox County, Tennessee, United States. Promeuraz operates primarily online with an international audience and contributor community.
1. Information We Collect
Most visitors may browse the Promeuraz website without providing personal information directly to Promeuraz.
We may collect personal information when an individual voluntarily communicates with Promeuraz, submits an article proposal, seeks to contribute to a Promeuraz publication, or otherwise interacts with our services.
Information submitted through our contributor process may include:
name and email address;
information associated with the Google account used to submit a form;
article topics, abstracts, proposals, anticipated article length, and expected submission dates;
information concerning a contributor's Medium account;
a LinkedIn profile or handle when voluntarily provided;
preferences concerning attribution or promotional tagging;
a professional photograph or headshot when voluntarily provided;
an author biography; and
other information voluntarily included in correspondence or submissions.
2. How We Use Information
Promeuraz may use information submitted to us to:
evaluate article proposals and submissions;
communicate with prospective and current contributors;
administer our editorial and publication processes;
maintain editorial and institutional records;
publish author names, biographies, and photographs when appropriate and authorized;
attribute published work to its author;
promote published work and identify or tag contributors on third-party platforms when the contributor has elected to participate;
operate, maintain, and improve Promeuraz's website, publications, and related activities; and
comply with applicable legal obligations or protect the legitimate interests of Promeuraz, its contributors, and its readers.
Promeuraz does not sell personal information.
3. Contributor Profiles and Public Information
Prospective contributors may be given the option to be featured on the Promeuraz website or identified in connection with the promotion of their work.
When a contributor elects to participate, Promeuraz may publicly display information such as the contributor's name, professional biography, photograph, authorship information, or other information provided for that purpose.
Contributors may also choose whether they wish to be identified or tagged in promotional activity on third-party platforms such as LinkedIn.
Information intentionally published in connection with an article, contributor profile, or other Promeuraz publication may remain part of the public and historical publication record.
4. Editorial Records and Retention
Article pitches and information associated with submissions are retained indefinitely as part of Promeuraz's editorial and institutional records.
Promeuraz maintains these records to preserve its publication history, document editorial activity, administer relationships with contributors, and maintain an institutional archive.
Information associated with published articles and contributors may likewise be retained as part of Promeuraz's permanent publication and editorial record.
5. Google and Other Third-Party Services
Promeuraz uses third-party services to operate portions of its online activities. The Promeuraz website is hosted using Google Sites, and contributor proposals may be collected using Google Forms and related Google services.
Information submitted through these services may therefore be processed or stored by Google in accordance with Google's applicable terms and privacy practices.
Promeuraz publications and promotional activities may also link to or make use of independent third-party services such as Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn. These services operate independently from Promeuraz and maintain their own privacy policies, terms, and data practices.
Promeuraz does not control the privacy or data-processing practices of independent third-party services.
6. External Links
The Promeuraz website and its publications may contain links to external websites, publications, social-media platforms, research resources, and other third-party services.
Promeuraz is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of external websites or services. Visitors should review the privacy policies and terms applicable to those services where appropriate.
7. Data Security
Promeuraz takes reasonable measures appropriate to the nature and scale of its operations to protect personal information in its possession from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and Promeuraz cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Requests Concerning Personal Information
Individuals may contact Promeuraz to ask questions about personal information they have provided or to request that information be corrected, updated, or, where appropriate, deleted.
Some information may need to be retained for legitimate editorial, archival, legal, or institutional purposes. Material forming part of a published article, authorship record, or historical editorial record may therefore not always be removable.
Requests will be considered in light of the nature of the information, the reason it is retained, and applicable law.
9. International Users
Promeuraz is based in Tennessee, United States, but operates online and may interact with readers and contributors in other countries.
Individuals who provide personal information to Promeuraz from outside the United States should understand that their information may be transmitted to, processed in, or retained using services located in the United States or other jurisdictions in which Promeuraz's service providers operate.
10. Children's Privacy
Promeuraz's contributor services are not directed toward children, and Promeuraz does not knowingly solicit personal information from children through its contributor submission process.
If Promeuraz becomes aware that personal information from a child has been collected in circumstances requiring its removal, appropriate steps will be taken to address the matter.
11. Changes to This Policy
Promeuraz may revise this Privacy Policy as its activities, publications, technologies, or legal obligations change.
The current version will be published on the Promeuraz website with its effective date.
