Ilya Slavutskiy is a History PhD student at Rutgers University. His dissertation research focuses on the non-Bolshevik left in Ukraine, particularly the Party of Ukrainian Socialists-Revolutionaries, during the revolutionary and civil war periods in the former Russian Empire. The project aims to see the Ukrainian Revolution, often thought of in national terms, through a socialism-focused lens. He is also interested in anti-Jewish pogroms in the region, as well as the broader history of military conflict and upheaval in the twentieth century in the territories of the former Russian Empire and Soviet Union.
