Eliska Vinklerova

I’m originally from the Czech Republic, and in 2023, I earned my BA in European Social and Political Studies from UCL.

My research interests centre on the post-Soviet transformation of the South Caucasus, strategies of repression and ideological campaigning in cultural spheres and the politically transformative role of music in protest movements. My particular focus revolves around the interplay between Georgia’s vibrant youth music subcultures and the dominant influence of the Georgian Orthodox Church and their roles in the country’s Europeanisation efforts.
