Biography
I am primarily a historian of population displacement in the modern world. This represents a change of direction, insofar as the first part of my career was mainly devoted to the economic and social history of Russia. Most of my current research activity is devoted to a monograph on the history of Europe since 1945, with a focus on migration in/to Europe. This will be published by Penguin Books and Basic Books.
