My academic work in conflict zones was profiled by Harvard The Harvard Crimson!

It is especially cool because the only other social scientists profiled this year are legendary political scientist Gary King and Econ Nobel Prize winner Claudia Goldin (an honor for me to be in such…

Does Putin's inner circle actually think Ukraine was behind the Crocus terror attack? I sat down with Mark Galeotti & Vera Mironova to discuss it in the latest episode of Carnegie Politika podcast. Tune in!

Together with Mark Galeotti we discussed #ISIS in #Russia Carnegie Endowment podcast carnegieendowment.org/politika/92272

I submitted my 3d book manuscript to the publisher ( Oxford Academic) ! It is 500 pages and took me 3 years to write (plus many more years to get to know folks I interviewed for the book).
I am very proud of myself. Despite taking a year off academic work to work in Ukraine in 2022…

This book by Vera Mironova offers an outstanding insight to understand the internal dynamics of post-Soviet #prisons with plenty of primary sources and case studies at the intersection of criminology, anthropology and terrorism studies. A must-read for our research sector!

My latest on #ISIS terrorist attack in #Russia for War on the Rocks warontherocks.com/2024/04/in-bri…

In last 2 years I consulted/took part in several very very high level meetings on #Ukraine & #MiddleEast but I never hard to make decisions.
I could not even imagine how much pressure it is now on our top government officials who have to make crucial security decisions daily!

In two days I did 17 (audio, video, podcast) interviews- Financial Times, BBC, Sunday Times, NPR, CBC, France 24, VOA, DW. Non English print- Norway, Sweden, Russia (opposition), Turkey, Switzerland, Germany.

It was hard! Colleagues, (who are very public), how do u do it ?

My interview in Norwegian, too bad I could not read it. aftenposten.no/verden/i/eJ297…

Today I did more then 10 interviews (print, TV, radio, podcast) in more then 7 countries - US, Europe, Canada. For me it is a record so far !

Davis Center associate Vera Mironova has spent years studying militants from the ex-USSR. Here we share some of her insights on recruitment from the region into international extremist networks, including ISIS-K: daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/insights/terro…

#Russia proudly published videos of tortured #ISIS terrorists. Why?

It makes their statements absolutely not credible. But it also portrays law enforcement as hard core (although where were they when attack happened 🤦‍♀️) &will further terrify domestic population into obedience.

Will be on CBC News ( both TV and radio) talking about #ISIS #Kharasan and terrorist attack in #Moscow this evening.

So #Moscow is at least 5th attack of #ISIS #Khorasan in several months (several fails in #Germany , followed by successful in #Turkey and #Iran ). Then they are definitely not stopping and I guess we could expect more soon (I hope I am wrong !)

I sympathize with victims of a terrible #ISIS attack in #Russia but it leads to even more anger with #Putin regime.

FSB is too busy arresting peaceful activists to actually do their job. Instead of listening to the West warning #Russia accused #US of sabotaging elections. And…

One of the alleged terrorists in #MoscowAttack during interrogation published by #Russia says that he got $2500 before the operation &was getting $2500 after.

It does not make sense… #ISIS folks do not expect to get out of such operation alive. They simply expect to die there.
