简介

Alexis Peri focuses on the history of modern Russia and Eastern Europe, focusing on the Romanov and Soviet periods. She has strong interests in the history of modern warfare, terror and terrorism, intimacy and private life, and the relationship between literature and history. Currently, she is completing a book project on the practices of diary writing during the Leningrad Blockade, which is provisionally entitled: The War Within: How Diarists Endured and Interpreted the Leningrad Blockade, 1941-44. Peri has published material from this project in The Soviet and Post-Soviet Review and in the following edited volumes: Hunger and War: Food Provisioning in the Soviet Union During World War II (Indiana, Forthcoming), Chelovek i lichnost’ v istorii Rossii konets XIX-XX vek (Nestor-Istoriia, 2013), and Zhizn’ in byt’ blokirovannogo Leningrada (Nestor-Istoriia, 2010). Her other publications delve into themes from the imperial period, including terrorism and the Crimean War. Her work has been supported by grants from the Fulbright Program, the International Research & Exchanges Board, the Mabelle McLeod Lewis Memorial Fund, Phi Beta Kappa, the Foreign Language & Area Studies Program, and the Office of the Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley.
