Visiting Researcher

I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of Illinois-Chicago (2014). My areas of expertise are party politics and democratization in Eastern Europe and the Caucuses. My current research focuses on women and politics in Ukraine with a specific interest in the role political parties play in hindering or facilitating gender parity in political representation.

Previous research of mine has focused on populism in Ukraine and Georgia, the democratic impact of the color revolutions, the meaning of party membership in Ukraine, Ukrainian right-wing politics, as well as the decentralization of party politics in Ukraine. My research has been published in East European Politics, Journal of Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society, The Oxford Handbook on the Radical Right (2018), as well as elsewhere.

I have worked with think tanks in Washington, D.C., Riga, and Prague, as well as taught political science and humanities courses at colleges and universities in the United States. In addition to being a visiting researcher at the Aleksanteri Institute, I will be lecturing in the Ukrainian Studies program.

University Lecturer, Head of Discipline in Eastern European and Balkan Studies

I am a historian and an area specialist in East Central and South Eastern Europe. In my current research, I focus on how spatiality determines the closely interlinked subjects of the rule of law, strategic culture and nationalism. Previously, I have also studied the role of competition in societal development and Cold War interactions. My latest publications include the co-authored book Strategic Culture in Russia’s Neighborhood (Lexington 2019) and special issue Erosion of the rule of law in East Central Europe (Journal of Contemporary European Studies, 3/2018). Based on my expertise, I have been invited to evaluate research projects for the EURIAS, the Austrian Science Fund and Baltic Sea Fund. I also frequently assist the media, political decision-makers on the Finnish and European level, and NGO’s.

 In 2013, I was appointed as a founding member of the Teachers’ Academy at the University of Helsinki, as acknowledgement of teaching skills and scholarship in education. Ever since, I am working to develop the internationalization of higher education and to invent new methods for interdisciplinary teaching. At the moment I am involved in a multilateral teaching co-operation with three Baltic universities (the Nordplus-project) Baltic-Nordic Network for the Advancement of Methodology in Area Studies. Previously, I collaborated with Belarussian and Georgian universities in the three-year Basercan-project.

Associate Professor, Russian law and administration

I have been engaged in socio-legal research and policy activities with public and voluntary sector organisations since 1996. I have worked as a researcher, trainer and professor for academic and non-academic agencies and projects, including the UN (UNDP program in Central Asia), NGOs (including women’s shelters in St. Petersburg) and a number of universities in Russia, Finland, the US and the UK. My research and policy engaged projects include those sponsored by the EC, US State Department, Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils, Finnish Academy and Dutch National Research Organisation.

My research is interdisciplinary, bringing together history, social sciences and law to examine long-term trends and patterns in social development, with a special focus on normativity, gender and violence. Some of my most recent projects focus on family violence (violence against parents and domestic violence), the history of crime (homicide and, particularly, femicide), legal history, gender history, and history of sexuality. Currently, I am focusing on the study of everyday uses of law based on empirical data from Russian courts and how it contributes to thinking about rule of law and better governance.

I am a founding member of the Russian Association of Women’s Historians (RAIZhI) and co-chair of the Women and Gender Network of the European Social Sciences History Conference. I am also an editor for the Palgrave book series World Histories of Crime, Culture and Violence and a member of a number of editorial boards, including for the Russian Law Journal and Comparative Legal History.

Postdoctoral Researcher

I graduated from the History Department of Pskov State University and studied as a postgraduate student in the St.Petersburg Institute of History (Russian Academy of Sciences) in 2012-2016. Additionally, I was a Research Associate in the Carceral Archipelago project (School of History, University of Leicester), funded by the European Research Council. Currently, I am a DPhil student at St.Peter's College, History Faculty, University of Oxford.

My area of expertise includes a comparative history of penal medicine, the GULAG, and Russian imperial prisons. I joined ERC-funded GULAGECHOES (Gulag Echoes in the “multicultural prison”: historical and geographical influences on the identity and politics of ethnic minority prisoners in the communist successor states of Russia and Europe) project in September 2019 as a post-doc researcher. My principal responsibility as a member of the team is to elucidate the historical dimension of the project research questions, particularly unexplored ethnic facets of the Soviet GULAG.

Visiting researcher (International postdoc Musikverket, Stockholm/ Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki)

I hold a PhD in Art History and Visual Studies from University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My research interest lies primarily in the field of performing arts, visual arts, scenography and materiality. In my PhD thesis I analyzed audiovisuality and material interrelations in live music performances, with the specific focus on bodies, screens, screen visuals and sound.

Since Autumn 2020 I am working on my postdoctoral research Women Practitioners and Scenography of Trauma in Contemporary Russian Theatre. I am spending two thirds of my research time as a visiting researcher at the Aleksanteri Institute.

My research lies on the intersection of performance studies, Russian studies and trauma studies and carries a dual intention. First, it aims to focus attention on women theatre directors and women stage artists in contemporary Russian theatre whose creative practices is often undermined and even discriminated. Second, the project aims to explore the representation of trauma in performances created by women practitioners. This aim is endorsed by problems in the sociocultural sphere in contemporary Russia, where the subjects of trauma and diverse traumatic experiences are often underrepresented, undesirable and even perceived as threatening for the state’s agenda. While trauma, alongside memory and history, is continuously fractured, molded and even ignored, I aim to explore how specifically women theatre practitioners continue to challenge the limits of articulation and apprehension of trauma in their work.

Doctoral student

I am currently working on the University of Helsinki three-year project “Strategies of Persuasion: Russian Propaganda in Algorithmic Age”. In this project, I study how Finnish websites that present themselves as “alternative news”, use RT and Sputnik as their information sources. In addition, I am involved in the Russian Media Lab Network . More general research interests of mine deal with establishment and contestation of authority that are embedded in national ideas in public discussion. Furthermore, I am affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland, where I do my PhD research on discursive Russianness in Russian and Finnish media within the Doctoral Programme on Social and Cultural Encounters.

Conference Assistant

I started Russian studies in 2013, with a special interest on Russian culture, politics and society. My current focus is on digital culture and media studies from a critical angle. The theme of my bachelor’s thesis, as well as my forthcoming master's thesis, is nostalgy towards the 1990s in Russia.

I have worked both as a museum guide and archivist at the Finnish Labour Museum "Werstas" and the Lenin museum. In spring 2021, I'm busy assisting the Aleksanteri-foorumi online conference, taking part in the planning and coordinating of the event, as well as assisting with the communications. 

Postdoctoral Researcher

I studied journalism in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and spent a few years there in the profession in the mid-2000s. This experience defines my current academic research and teaching profile. In 2008, I started my doctorate in media studies at the University of Tampere. During that time I became a member of Aleksanteri Institute’s Graduate School for Russian and East European Studies (2010-2013). As a result, I have written “The Blogization of Journalism” (2014), my PhD on how blogs politicized media and social space in Russia. I also co-authored and edited “Media and Global Climate Knowledge” (2016) and “Journalism and the NSA Revelations” (2017) where my expertise on Russian media and journalism was brought into international comparative perspective.

Since September 2018, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Russian Environment research group headed by Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen. My project (2018-2021) contributes with research on the role of journalism and media in climate change discourse in Russia. Before I studied this topic mainly from a national perspective. It is the local contexts of the Russian Arctic regions and their links to transnational climate change debates that is my current focus.

Since November 2018 I'm also a co-editor of Aleksanteri Insight, together with Kaarina Aitamurto.

Postdoctoral researcher

I defended my PhD in sociology at the University of Cambridge (2019), and hold a PhD in sociological theory and methods from the Higher School of Economics (2016). In 2019, I joined the University of Helsinki as a postdoctoral researcher on the project “Gulag Echoes in the Multicultural Prison”, funded by the European Research Council.

I am a political sociologist focusing on systems of social control. I examine how states establish and maintain the rules people are governed by in their everyday lives, and how people respond such rules from the bottom up. My doctoral work at the University of Cambridge investigated how journalists construct their civic, ethnic, and professional identities in a context of state crackdown on news media, focusing on the case of local Crimean journalists during Russia’s occupation and annexation of the peninsula. In 2018-2019, I held the Oxford Russia Fellowship at the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge, and carried out a research project examining the limits of journalistic autonomy during peacetime and in times of conflict, comparing the Republic of Tatarstan to contemporary Crimea. The results of my research have been published in The British Journal of Sociology, Current Sociology, The Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, The European Journal of Communication, and Nationalities Papers.

On the Gulag Echoes project, I work on social control in the context of penal systems. I employ qualitative methods across multiple field sites to examine how ethnic, civic, and political self-identification form among prisoners in the Russian penal system.
