About me
[edit]Political researcher focusing on Russia and Eastern Europe, with a specific focus on Moldova and Transnistria. I possess a first-class BA (Hons) in History and Politics at the University of Warwick (2020-2023).
I am particularly interested in: Russian politics, Post-Soviet states and conflicts, Transnistria, the Cold War, war studies, security studies, international relations, separatist movements, diasporas and economics.
I am also particularly committed to increasing youth engagement in politics through journalism. As such, I founded and currently manage Europinion - an independent political platform - to help facilitate open, honest discussion in our polity.
