Viacheslav Morozov is Professor of EU-Russia Studies at the University of Tartu. He works on issues related to Russian national identity and foreign policy. His book Russia and the Others: Identity and Boundaries of a Political Community (Moscow: NLO Books, 2009) introduces neo-Gramscian theory of hegemony to Russian identity studies. His more recent research aims to reveal how Russia’s political and social development has been conditioned by the country’s position in the international system. This approach has been laid out in his most recent monograph Russia’s Postcolonial Identity: A Subaltern Empire in a Eurocentric World (Palgrave, 2015), while the comparative dimension has been explored, inter alia, in the edited volume Decentring the West: The Idea of Democracy and the Struggle for Hegemony (Ashgate, 2013) and in ‘Indigeneity and subaltern subjectivity in decolonial discourses: a comparative study of Bolivia and Russia’ (Journal of International Relations and Development, co-authored with Elena Pavlova, forthcoming). Morozov is a member of the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia (PONARS Eurasia) based at the George Washington University. Between 2007 and 2010, he was a member of the Executive Council of the Central and East European International Studies Association (CEEISA).
