Forskning

My research interests include nationality politics, centre-periphery relations and the Soviet Baltic. My current projects include an article about a wave of purges across the Soviet Republics in the late 1950s, and larger projects about the changing relationship between the Soviet centre and the periphery between 1944 and 1964, and patronage systems in the Soviet system focusing on the careers of Soviet chief ideologue Mikhail Suslov and his protégé Soviet Latvian leader and later Politburo member Arvīds Pelše. My publications have appeared in Europe-Asia Studies, Nationalities Papers, the Journal of Baltic Studies, and the Journal of the Institute of Latvian History.
