Research
Research focus: land grabbing in the post-Soviet countryside, land conflicts and activities of rural social movements in Russia and Ukraine. The main research question of her PhD is: To what extent and how has global land grabbing occurred in Russia and Ukraine, with what implications to local communities, and how have local communities resisted or modified these land deals (if at all)? She holds 2 master degrees, has journalistic experience in Russia and participated in the academic research projects: ‘Land grabbing in Russia’ (LDPI 2010), ‘Land governance in Russia and Ukraine’ (Landac 2011).
