I graduated in East European and Eurasian Studies from the University of Bologna. My research interests include the practices of identity (de)construction across the broader post-Soviet space, the politicization of historical memory in the Russian-Ukrainian borderland, the conditions of ethnic minorities in Putin's Russia, and Moscow's strategies to achieve "digital sovereignty."My professional experience includes working as a co-coordinator and language specialist at a first reception center for Ukrainian refugees, as well as an internship at the Embassy of Italy in Kyiv.I am eager to gain further work experience in the areas of refugees reception and integration, as well as project management within civil society organizations. Additionally, I am considering pursuing a PhD in one of the aforementioned research fields.
