Taras Kuzio
Summary
Taras Kuzio is a Professor of Political Science at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv, Ukraine). His area of study is Russian and Ukrainian political, economic and security affairs.
Taras Kuzio is of Ukrainian descent.
He received a BA in economics from the University of Sussex, an MA in Soviet studies from the University of London and holds a doctorate in political science from the University of Birmingham; he was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University.
In 1986, Kuzio, based in London, began compiling and translating information on current events in Soviet Ukraine and provided this information to the media through the Ukraine Press Agency (UPA) in Great Britain. UPA was a branch of the officially British-registered company Society for Soviet Nationalities Studies, which published the bi-monthly Soviet Nationalities Survey (which had been launched in 1984 and continued until 1991) and monthly Soviet Ukrainian Affairs (1987-89). Unbeknownst to Kuzio, this was funded by the CIA as part of their QRPLUMB Project, although the CIA had no editorial input.
In 1992-93, Kuzio worked as a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. From 1993-95, he served as editor of the Ukrainian Business Review and directed the Ukrainian Business Agency. From 1995-98, he was a senior research fellow with the Centre for Russian and Eastern European Studies at the University of Birmingham in England, where he completed his PhD on nation- and state-building in Ukraine. In the second half of the 1990s, he was a senior research fellow at the Council of Advisers to the Ukrainian Parliament.
From 1998-99, he was director of the NATO Information and Documentation Center in Kyiv, Ukraine. He served as a long-term observer for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe during the 1998 and 2002 parliamentary elections in Ukraine, and as a National Democratic Institute observer in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential elections.
