Dr Katerina Tertytchnaya
- Biography
Before joining UCL I was the Clayman Junior Research Fellow in Politics at the University of Oxford, and held a Fulbright-Schuman predoctoral fellowship at Columbia University in the city of New York. I have a DPhil in Politics and an MPhil in Russian and Eastern European Studies from the University of Oxford.
- Research
My research interests include public opinion, protests, and authoritarian politics. Drawing on evidence from Russia, I examine how nondemocratic incumbents use propaganda and nonviolent repression to lower the costs of staying in power. Other projects study the political consequences of migrant remittances, with a focus on Central Asia.
