Journalist focusing on political violence, nationalism, and queer politics, with a regional interest in Central and Eastern Europe. Like many from the post-Soviet space, I keep one eye on the U.S. as a permanent side quest. Currently looking ahead to my next stop: ideally a newsroom or a long-term research project.
