Dr Zbigniew Wojnowski
Associate Professor
St Antony's College, Faculty of History
I am a historian of Ukraine, Russia, and Central Asia. My research has focused on interethnic relations and imperial dynamics in the USSR. My book entitled 'The Near Abroad: Socialist Eastern Europe and Soviet Patriotism in Ukraine' examines how the flow of people and ideas across borders shaped Ukrainian and Soviet identities after the death of Stalin. I have also published on the history of twentieth-century Kazakhstan.
I am currently working on a monograph about the history of perestroika and the collapse of the USSR. The book examines the interplay between economic, social, and cultural transformations through the prism of show business.
