Bringing the humanities and social sciences into the 21st century
We got so tired of collecting data manually that we've developed solutions that can, for example, turn your book into a media project, in a matter of hours conduct a quantitative analysis of the press since 1991, survey thousands of people in a day, find a single needed word in all your archive photographs.
Do you need to help creating a professional page or online research project, or visualising your data? Almost two thirds of our clients come to us for this.
We develop software to meet your research objectives. If you can't find a solution to scrape online data, analyze information in photographs from archives or conduct linguistic analysis – we'll develop it for you.
We can share a variety of useful in-house software solutions and databases with you. Check out our portfolio to see what we have to offer.

We take your online project from design to realization.

Most hiring managers prefer personal websites than CVs. We can help you to develop an informative page with the right design and high clickability.
Visuals, a reader-friendly design, an online archive with original sources – these are things that can take your research to the next level.
It's on us to make education thrive. We help scholars reach wide audiences. Check out Russia.Post website to see an example of our work.

"Culturalizing the Nation:
A Quantitative Approach
to the Russkii/Rossiiskii
Semantic Space in Russia's
Political Discourse"
by Laruelle, Grek, and Davydov
While the differences and overlaps between
the two terms used to describe Russia's national identity, rossiiskii and russkii, have been well studied, very little research has tried to quantify the balance between them and to identify the semantic space in which they are deployed. Many Western observers have claimed that russkii is now prevailing over rossiiskii and that the multiethnic character of Russia's identity is gradually disappearing. Our pioneering research quantifies the deployment of both terms in three datasets—Presidential Administration use, Putin's speeches, and Duma debates—offering the first quantitative study of the evolution of the two notions over two decades. We conclude that the current culturalization of political national identity is not necessarily synonymous with ethnonationalism so much as with the growing authoritarian trend of the Russian regime, and that it meshes with the conceptual framework of "culturalization of citizenship" visible across Europe.

We develop software to achieve your research goals.
We've developed software to conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of certain social media and websites in a matter of seconds. Thus, we can scrape data from any digital source and offer online tools for discourse analysis and other similar tasks.
We can convert photographs of archival documents into a searchable database with sorting and autotranslation functions. Once we integrate it with our language analysis tools, the computer will start learning how to write history. Learn more about E-archive services.
Databases can be great and informative – but often lack important analysis tools. We develop them on our own. Imagine you seek to understand the correlation between the expression of an ideologeme and public behavior – we can get an answer from your preferred newspaper database.
