Masha Fedorova

Graduate Student

Specialization

Fedorova's research focuses on the circulation of agricultural ideas between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 1920s and 1930s, particularly how American agricultural expertise impacted the Soviet agricultural reconstruction in the 1920s and how this experience, in turn, affected American agricultural policies during the New Deal.

In 2018 Fedorova was the recipient of the Darcy Ruth Ritzau Graduate Student Award and a Fellow of the UCSB History Associates.
