Rhiannon Dowling is a modern European historian specializing in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. She is currently a postdoctoral research scholar at Columbia University's Harriman Institute, where she is completing her book manuscript, The Soviet War on Crime: The Criminal in Society, 1953–1991, which places the problem of crime at the center of late Soviet life. Telling the story of the Soviet "War on Crime" of the 1960s and 1970s, she shows that what started during the Thaw as an earnest effort to discover the roots of criminality instead revealed to the broader public a culture of corruption that permeated the state from root to branch.
