For a brief spell in 2004 I worked on this EU-FP5/INCO-Copernicus project at the Centre for Sociological Studies at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Together with a local colleague, I analysed some data from this project, which resulted in a co-authored article on the 2004/2005 colour revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. The project included 18,400 entries from the eight former Soviet countries (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Georgia).
