I am a research fellow at the Harvard’s Ukrainian Research Institute, a visiting professor at Kyiv School of Economics, and a postdoctoral fellow at the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia. My primary research focus is electoral politics and democratization with specialization in politics of Ukraine and Russia. My monograph project, ‘The Electoral Effects of Decentralization: Evidence from Ukraine’ investigates how decentralization reform affects electoral mobilization and diversity in a weakly institutionalized democracy. I am particularly interested in transitional period reforms, propaganda, legislative politics, and forecasting. My research has been published in the Journal of Politics and PS: Political Science & Politics.
