Historian and political scientist, researcher of Soviet history and the western Ukrainian borderlands. He completed bachelor's and master's programs in political science at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (2010–2016), as well as a master's interdisciplinary program in Nationalism Studies at Central European University (2016–2017).

In 2025, he defended his doctoral dissertation in history at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) on the topic Sovietizations of Western Ukraine: The Diverse Paths of the Communist Party in Galicia and Transcarpathia, 1944-53. The study focuses on a comparative analysis of the party elites in two western Ukrainian regions and their role in implementing Soviet policies for the region’s transformation after World War II. His research interests include the history of Soviet national policy, the border regions of Central and Eastern Europe, changes in sovereignty, and the interaction of local elites with centralized regimes.

He is currently working as a research assistant on the "Adalet" project at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, dedicated to the digitization and publication of SBU archival documents regarding the Crimean Tatars. In 2026–2027, he will be a visiting lecturer in Ukrainian history at Columbia University.

During his residency at the Center for Urban History, he will work on an article based on his dissertation, which focuses on the People’s Assembly of Western Ukraine in Lviv in October 1939 and the Congress of People's Committees of Transcarpathian Ukraine in Mukachevo in November 1944. The research focuses on how the Soviet authorities constructed political rituals and visual representations to legitimize the annexation of Western Ukrainian territories as a "reunification" with Soviet Ukraine. Particular attention will be paid to the role of the local population in these rituals and representations.
