Abstract :During the Soviet era, the area of foreign policy was largely monopolized by the Communist Party and the Academy of Sciences. In contemporary Russia, there has been a demonstrable crystallization of the process of using a complicated system of state-controlled and independent think tanks. In this regard, the Moscowbased Russian Institute of Strategic Studies (RISS) has been transformed into a very powerful and well-organized community of experts in international affairs. Think tank is a term which is traditionally used to define a research organization for the purpose of solving of problems, especially in the areas of technology, social or political strategy, armament or public policy. A think tank denotes people of creativity in their field who can produce new ideas on particular subjects. It reflects the profound desire of some people to influence public opinion and public policy. If there are numerous think tanks, then they are required to compete in their own marketplace and to sell their products.Keywords : Russian, Institute, Strategic
