Alexei Ilyich Miller is employed in the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences,[1] the European University at Saint Petersburg[2] and the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.[3] He is also a member of the Russian governmental institution Council for Foreign and Defense Policy[4] (otherwise, known as the Valdai Discussion Club[5]).
Research and Politics
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Miller used to lecture and do research at Central European University (2012-14)[6] and in the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (2001).[7] However, already following the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, Miller began supporting the Kremlin's imperialism by claiming that the Ukrainian nation does not exist.[8]
At present, Miller is an important supporter of the war and the Russian president. The scholar uses history for justifying the Kremlin's full-scale attack on Ukraine.[9] For instance, he proposes that Vladimir Putin's 'speech of 21 February 2022, which heralded the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine, marked the transition from [Russian] debates about history to practical actions to change its course.'[10]
In 2024, the Russian Academy of Sciences published Miller's anthology Украинский вопрос и политика идентичности [The Ukrainian Question and Identity Politics].[11] It was widely discussed, notably, without the participation of any Ukrainian or foreign scholars. The work is now seen as the officially obtaining Russian view of Ukrainian history.[12][13]
