Levy, Nicholas

Nicholas Levy is a doctoral candidate in the Department of History at Stanford University, focusing primarily on the history of the Soviet Union and the former socialist bloc. He is interested in a social history of the Soviet 1970s that could begin to bridge the gap between the reductive narrative of “stagnation” and the nostalgic emphasis on “stability.” His dissertation project is tentatively titled “Over-Developed Socialism? Growing Industrial Cities in the Era of Deindustrialization.” His research has been supported by a Fulbright US Student Research Grant, a visiting fellowship at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw, FLAS and ACLS language study grants.
