Natalia Telepneva

I am a Lecturer In International History at the University of Strathclyde, and specialise in the history of the Soviet Union and the Cold War, especially in Africa. I am the author of "Cold War Liberation: The Soviet Union and the Collapse of Portuguese Empire in Africa, 1961-1975" (UNC Press, 2022), which examines Soviet support for anticolonial movements in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. I have also published several articles on Soviet and Czechoslovak intelligence in Africa and co-edited “Warsaw Pact Intervention in the Third World" (IB Tauris, 2018).
