My research examines covert, narrative, and hybrid statecraft, anchored in Soviet, Russian, and East European cases. I study propaganda, psychological operations, weaponized information, political violence, and culture—from assassinations to socialist spy fiction—as tools for shaping threat perception, political beliefs, and behavior. My comparative work addresses U.S. intelligence liaison, hybrid warfare, private intelligence ethics, and AI-assisted “forensic reading” of declassified archives.
