Anastasia writes regularly for major newspapers on India and Ukraine. As an anthropologist, she brings grounded, non-partisan insights that cut through the noise to make sense of complex events and processes.
Drawing on over two decades of research, Anastasia's academic work examines India's society and politics, showing how its cultural logics shape the democratic process.
Anastasia is often called on by international media to share expertise on India, Ukraine, and especially on Odessa, where she now lives. Her current research brings an ethnographer's eye to Odessa's wartime life, culture and politics.
