“…It is also noteworthy that for those who moved to Israel in the 1990s, leaving Rus sia was not a choice driven by the ambition to seek a career or-as it is true for Rus sians who relocate to Finland-a leisurely lifestyle (Shatokhina, this volume). Migration to Israel presented Rus sian Jews with an opportunity to escape anti-Semitism (see, e.g., Blank 1995;Korey 1995;Krupnik 1995;Gitelman 2001;Pinkus 1990) and create an affinity to the Jewish nation: I had another kind of sentiment back then. I needed to be among those like me; I needed to feel belonging to this nation, to feel comfortable, to feel that I'm a part of something bigger and to stop hiding.…”

This book is a collective effort in more ways than we can describe. From conceptualizing the proj ect, securing the funding, assembling the team, all the way to developing the international network to support the research and conversations that we wanted to have, we have relied on colleagues and friends in Rus sia, the US, France, the UK, and the Netherlands, including several we made along the way. From Rus sia with Code is the product of a three-year effort by a team of scholars connected to the Science and Technology Studies (sts) Center at the Eu ro pean University at Saint Petersburg (eusp), funded by a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Rus sian Federation for the study of high-skill brain drain. This proj ect would not have been pos si ble without the eusp's unique intellectual and interdisciplinary environment and the Ministry's support for the extensive and multisited research required by our research topic.As in all collective enterprises, especially academic ones, the most impor tant persons are not necessarily the most vis i ble. In our case, they do not appear on the book cover nor in the list of contributors, and yet they have been pres ent throughout the book, working next to it, and making it pos si ble. Olga Dragan, eusp's finance officer, has crucially supported the proj ect from its inception in January 2013, when it was only a grant application, all the way through its slow metamorphosis into the book you are reading. With the help of Natalia Voinova, Olga steered the ship clear of all bureaucratic shoals, even when the po liti cal campaigns against the eusp turned bureaucratic rules into something else.A relatively recent arrival on the Rus sian academic landscape, the eusp is at once a research center and the leading private higher-degreegranting social science institution in Rus sia, ranking every year in the Acknowl edgments x < Acknowl edgments > xii < Acknowl edgments > and international scholars and networks that have grown around the "megagrant" proj ect have contributed to Oleg's goal of solidifying the eusp Center's role as the premier sts hub in Russia-a country where our already interdisciplinary field needs to add additional perspectives to make sense of the many diff er ent scenarios emerging at the intersection of dramatic historical changes, geo graph i cal specificities, and mobilities. While his name does not appear among the book's contributors, Oleg has been a full-fledged collaborator, from his early support of our "megagrant" application to innumerable discussions and brainstorming sessions throughout the proj ect. The plea sure associated with the completion of this book is also tinged by the sadness of acknowledging the closure of the proj ect, but we hope that the relations of intellectual kinship with Oleg and the faculty and students of the eusp will spawn more initiatives and conversations, in Saint Petersburg and elsewhere.
