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, and coercive military tools shape political outcomes in fragile and post‑conflict environments.

Her expertise has been recognised by leading defence and policy institutions. She received 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, with findings on Bosnia published in the Journal of Peace and War Studies. In 2026, the Joint Special Operations University (JSOU) published her monograph From Guns for Hire to Military Doctrine: Russia’s Institutionalization of Influence in Africa – Implications and Recommendations for U.S. Special Operations Forces, which has been highlighted by Small Wars Journal and SOF News for its analysis of Russian gray‑zone activity and implications for USSOF.

Ronc is also 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.

She has written for and appeared in international media outlets including Al Jazeera English, Middle East Eye, and TRT World, and previously worked with CNBC and Fox Business Network. Ronc works independently as a consultant, adviser, and analyst with institutions and policy bodies, guided by a commitment to evidence‑based analysis, human rights, and strategic responsibility.
