My forthcoming book on 2014 war in Donbas with @OxUniPress is the first comparative study of the conflict written from the perspective of individual towns, their administrators and residents. By comparing mechanisms of town capture and governance it identifies the exact role of Russian vs local actors behind the spread of militant control over the region. The book is based on the original data collected through several years of field research and in-depth interviews in Donbas conducted prior to 2022 full-scale invasion. Most of the towns discussed in the book are currently under Russian occupation and no longer accessible to researchers. The electronic version of the book will be available in December. The hardcover/paperback release is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2025 and available for pre-order now. global.oup.com/academic/prod…
