Person

I joined the PhD program in Media History in 2024. My main research interests are media, neo-authoritarianism, and oppositional practices in post-Soviet Russia.

I have a BA in Journalism from St. Petersburg State University, Russia, and an MSc in Media and Communication Studies from Lund University, Sweden. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a journalist and editor, covering local economy and bottom-up initiatives in Russian cities outside the capital region.

My PhD project will focus on the way independent Russian journalists have adapted to authoritarian pressure.
