Visiting scholar, Russia and Eurasia Program, The Fletcher School, Tufts University

Maxim Krupskiy, a human rights defender and attorney, joined The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy for the Spring 2023 semester as a visiting scholar of the Russia and Eurasia Program. Krupskiy has 12 years of legal experience in Russia. Throughout his legal career, his work has primarily revolved around defending refugees, NGOs, and activists labeled as foreign agents by Russia.

In addition to his work as an attorney, Krupskiy has also prepared over 40 expert opinion briefs on anti-corruption related to migration, state administration, the environment, and legislation in relation to non-profit organizations. Many of these opinions have been utilized by NGOs such as the Human Rights Centre Memorial, Greenpeace, and the World Wildlife Fund, among others. As a current Ph.D. candidate, his research focuses on the role of NGOs and civic activism in establishing social connections that are resistant to challenges arising from modernity.
