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

Having fled the war in Bosnia as a child, Ronc brings a rare combination of lived experience and analytical rigor to her work on conflict, displacement, and power asymmetries. This background informs her commitment to examining not only strategic intent, but also the human consequences of geopolitical decision-making.

Her research has been supported by institutions including the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, which funded her work on Kremlin interference in the Western Balkans. Her analysis has also appeared in international media and academic journals.

In 2025, Ronc published her debut memoir, Daughters of Dissidents Need Not Apply, a critically engaged examination of exile, institutional power, and the long shadow of political violence. The book complements her analytical work by grounding policy debates in lived reality, particularly around accountability, memory, and civilian harm.

Alongside her writing and research, Ronc has spoken publicly on Russian foreign policy, genocide and memory, information warfare, and the refugee experience. Her work is driven by a commitment to human rights, evidence-based analysis, and the principle that strategic thinking must not be divorced from moral responsibility.

She works independently as a consultant, adviser, and researcher with institutions, organisations, and academic or policy bodies.
