I am a graduate of journalism at Charles University in Prague and history at Lund University. I have a PhD in history. I am an associate professor in European studies. My research focuses on modern European history, particularly the history of Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century, the history of the Cold War and the development of communism in the region, its crisis, collapse and aftermath. I am the author of Vanished History. The Holocaust in Czech and Slovak Historical Culture. I am currently completing a manuscript of a book based on a critical analysis of my own extensive interviews with Vladimir Semichastnyi (1924-2001), head of the KGB from 1961 to 1967, which I conducted in Moscow in the 1990s. The book confronts Semichastnyi's oral testimony with documents declassified in the archives of several countries. The book is under contract with Yale University Press.
