I am a doctoral student at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the European University Institute. This Fall Term, I am visiting the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). My work focuses on the political legacy of communism and how it shaped attitudes towards authoritarianism, political conflicts and identities. I am deploying various research designs and causal inference methods.
