Biography

Sarah Davies is a cultural historian of the Soviet Union and the Cold War. Her first book, Popular Opinion in Stalin’s Russia (CUP, 1997) was awarded the Alec Nove prize. She received AHRC funding for a project on Stalin’s personal archive, which has resulted in a monograph, Stalin's World, jointly-authored with James Harris (Leeds). With Harris, she co-edited Stalin: A New History (CUP, 2003). Her current project is a study of Soviet and British cultural diplomacy during the Cold War.
