Nadina Ronc is an independent geopolitical analyst and author specialising in Russian foreign policy, military strategy, hybrid warfare, and influence operations. Her work examines how state power, information manipulation, coercive military tools, and force posture shape political outcomes in fragile and post-conflict environments.

Ronc brings a rare combination of lived experience of war and analytical rigor to her work on conflict, displacement, and power asymmetries. This background informs her focus on not only strategic intent, but also the downstream human consequences of geopolitical decision-making.

Her expertise has been recognised by leading defence and policy institutions. She is a recipient of a research grant from the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College for her work on Kremlin interference in the Western Balkans. In 2026, her research on Russian influence operations in Africa was published by the Joint Special Operations University (JSOU).

Alongside her analytical work, Ronc is the author of Daughters of Dissidents Need Not Apply (2025), a memoir exploring exile, institutional power, and the long shadow of political violence. Her writing bridges strategic analysis and lived experience, grounding policy debates in questions of accountability, memory, and civilian harm.

Ronc has spoken publicly on Russian foreign policy, genocide and memory, information warfare, and the refugee experience. She works independently as a consultant, adviser, and researcher with institutions, organisations, and academic or policy bodies, guided by a commitment to evidence-based analysis, human rights, and strategic responsibility.
