He seeks to understand why states behave the way they do. How the past shapes present-day decisions, why conflicts have a long memory, and why simple explanations in international politics usually fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He works at the Institute of Political Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, where he focuses on political geography, geopolitics, and the history of international relations, with a long-term emphasis on Russia and the post-Soviet space. Alongside his academic work, he regularly takes part in public debate as a commentator and external contributor to Den\u00edk N. He is also one of the voices behind the podcast Romancov & spol., where he and the foreign affairs desk discuss current conflicts and geopolitical developments in a broader context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His perspective is grounded in a deep knowledge of history and an ability to see connections. He helps make sense of the world as it is \u2013 complex, often confusing, and full of decisions with long-lasting consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
