I hold Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, M.A. in East-European Cultural Studies & International Relations, and B.A. in History & International Relations. I studied at Warsaw University, Poland, and St. Petersburg State University, Russia. In 2022-2023, I did postdoctoral research at Lund University, Sweden.
I lecture at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen. I am also an independent analyst, covering developments in Russia and its security implications for Central and Northern Europe.
I am also Non-Resident Fellow at the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, responsible for the majority of the Foundation’s papers related to Russia’s domestic and foreign policies.
I spent nine years in the Polish diplomatic service as, among others, Vice-Consul at Poland’s Consulate General in Kaliningrad and Second Secretary at Poland’s Permanent Representation to the European Union in Brussels.
My research interests cover identity, politics memory in Central and Eastern Europe and their impact on security, as well as the West-Russia relations.
I have published over 30 academic and public intellectual articles in international journals, as well as authored and co-authored many policy papers and analyses, such as the 2023 Warsaw Security Forum opening report.
In 2024, I authored Denmark’s first comprehensive report on Kaliningrad Oblast, commissioned and published by the Danish Institute for International Studies. In 2025, Routledge published my book Collective Memory in Post-Soviet Kaliningrad Oblast.
