[edit] About Me
I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my professional activities at the moment are in the area of Information Technology.
I have completed my Ph.D. in 1998, and my interests are in the Russian history of the 19th and 20th centuries. My thesis was in the social and cultural history of Odessa during World War I, the Revolutions of 1917 and the Russian Civil War, and in the way in which the city responded to the collapse of the central authority of the Russian Empire during this period. My general interests in history are frontier societies (like Odessa in the Russian Empire), their characteristics (social, economic and cultural) and the way in which they interacted with the central authorities.
