Alexei Ilyich Miller is employed in the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, [1] the European University at Saint Petersburg [2] and the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. [3] He is also a member of the Russian governmental institution Council for Foreign and Defense Policy [4] (otherwise, known as the Valdai Discussion Club [5] ).
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Miller used to lecture and do research at Central European University (2012-14) [6] and in the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (2001). [7] However, already following the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, Miller began supporting the Kremlin's imperialism by claiming that the Ukrainian nation does not exist. [8]
At present, Miller is an important supporter of the war and the Russian president. The scholar uses history for justifying the Kremlin's full-scale attack on Ukraine. [9] For instance, he proposes that Vladimir Putin's 'speech of 21 February 2022, which heralded the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine, marked the transition from [Russian] debates about history to practical actions to change its course.' [10]
In 2024, the Russian Academy of Sciences published Miller's anthology Украинский вопрос и политика идентичности [The Ukrainian Question and Identity Politics]. [11] It was widely discussed, notably, without the participation of any Ukrainian or foreign scholars. The work is now seen as the officially obtaining Russian view of Ukrainian history. [12] [13]
