It explores the historical construction of the image and idea of Russia's natural environment.
His current research focuses on the rise of a sphere of public activity and public opinion in late-imperial Russia, particularly on the tumultuous five-year period between the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war and the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.
