Research summary > [Click to expand]

Dr Iandolo’s main research interest is the history of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, with a specific focus on Soviet economic and technical cooperation with the Third World. His doctoral thesis is a study of the USSR’s relations with Ghana, Guinea, and Mali during the Khrushchev era, based on Soviet, Ghanaian, Malian, British and French sources.

Thanks to support from the British Academy, he is working on a new research project that links Soviet involvement in the Third World with the experience of modernisation within the USSR. The core aim of his research is to show the key contribution made by the Soviet Union to the emergence of a model of development centred on state investment and public ownership, a model that has proved successful in a large number of developing countries in recent decades.

Countries and regions to which research relates:

Former Soviet Union; North Africa; West Africa
