    Biography

    Background

    I was born and raised somewhere obscure in the middle of England. I received my BA (1993) and PhD (1998) from the University of Leeds. My PhD thesis and first book were on the tsarist secret police based on research in the newly opened Russian state archives. After this I took up a research fellowship at Helsinki University in 1999, which thanks to Finnish Academy funding provided me with access to the former Communist Party and KGB archives in Moscow. This led to a British Academy Post-doctoral Fellowship at St Cross College, Oxford from 2001 to 2004 and after that a lectureship at Stirling University. I was appointed to my current post as Lecturer in History at the University of Edinburgh in January 2010.
