I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Government at Harvard University. My primary research interests are international politics of the Post-Soviet space, EU external governance, US and EU engagement in the post-Communist states, civil society, and arms control. My interests span the two worlds that opposed each other for a long time, but I hope to bring them closer together and resolve their contradictions through my work.

I am also executive editor for Belarus Digest, a project that provides non-partisan analysis of Belarus-related events and publications, and editorial adviser for Political Sphere, the only peer-reviewed journal of political science in Belarus. In addition, I contribute to Across the Aisle, PSA’s bipartisan Foreign Policy and National Security Blog. I draw political cartoons to accompany my writing.
