I just finished my BSc in International Relations and History at LSE. As an Eastern European myself — I come from Poland — I find the region extremely interesting and full of potential. My interests escalated when I began learning Russian, which is when I became interested not only in Eastern European politics, but also music and literature. My research interests include the history of the USSR, focusing on various periods — currently on the Gorbachevian era. I also find the influence and use of propaganda extremely interesting, especially its effects and comparison among different regimes.
