Volodymyr Artiukh is a Postdoctoral Researcher at COMPAS with the ERC-funded project EMPTINESS: Living Capitalism and Democracy after (Post)Socialism.
Volodymyr completed his PhD in Sociology and Social Anthropology at the Central European University in 2020. His dissertation is a historically-informed analysis of labour in Belarus centred on workers’ agency in the context of bureaucratic labour control. He is currently working on a book manuscript based on his dissertation. He also wrote on the circulation of populist idioms in Belarus’s dominant and opposition ideologies in 2017-20.
Within the EMPTINESS project, Volodymyr studies migration in the context of war-induced destruction in Ukraine. His project situates their laboural and migratory experiences in Ukraine, Romania and Moldova’s changing political and economic situation.
His research interests include the anthropology of work and labour organisations in post-Soviet countries, the anthropology of populism, and the comparative study of hegemonic practices in Eastern Europe.
