Denis Kozlov is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Dalhousie University, specializing in Russian Soviet history, cultural history, and intellectual history. He focuses on memory and social migration history within literature and society. His research primarily explores the social and cultural transformations in the Soviet Union during the late decades, especially the period following Stalin’s death in 1953 and leading to the country’s collapse in 1991. Kozlov’s work emphasizes comprehension of individual experiences in the context of twentieth-century history, drawing on extensive archival evidence and thousands of letters from readers of literary journals to understand the evolution of historical consciousness and language in Soviet society under Stalin. He is currently writing about the migrations of Soviet citizens to the West during the 1970s and 1980s, delving into the values and ideas motivating these movements. Kozlov teaches both introductory and advanced courses, supervising student research in related fields, and has authored and co-edited multiple monographs on topics relevant to Soviet culture and society.
