Subject of study: Islamophobia, secularization in Europe

I have a BA in International Relationships which I obtained at the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Political Sciences in Serbia. My main fields of interest are political philosophy and history of religion.  In this year I will be focusing on the concept of secularization and its applicability to different religions than Christianity. I am also interested in understanding how religion has shaped and influenced different political concepts and ideas in the West such as : liberalism, democracy, nationalism, communism etc.

Area of study: Orthodox Christian Religious and Political Thought

My BA thesis was related to the study of diplomacy in the reign of Ivan III based on the methodological approach of the Modified Linear Model of Communication. The goal of the research was to determine the aspects of communication and the attitudes of the Muscovite potentate to his foreign counterparts by analysing the diplomatic protocol.

My current research interests are Orthodox Christian religious / political thought and eschatology in Byzantine and Medieval and Early Modern Russia. My MA thesis will most probably be related to the Oprichnina of Ivan IV.
