I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at McGill University. I am a comparativist specialising in Eastern and Western Europe.
My dissertation examines the impact of the Russian regime’s selective adoption of international radical right rhetoric on various ideological strands of the opposition. I apply computational text analysis methods to transcripts generated from audio data, such as propaganda programs and YouTube channels. I anchor these empirical approaches in a theoretical framework based on nationalism studies. Broadly, my research explores ethnic nationalism, the radical right, its tensions with the center-right, and white identity politics.
Before joining McGill and pursuing political science, I lectured on Western European and American cultural history and literature at Lomonosov Moscow State University. My prior work investigated American and British racial theories during the interwar period. I hold a degree in Western European Studies, with a focus on the UK and Germany.
