Sloin’s research focuses on intersections of Soviet history, Jewish identity, and labor movements. His publications and presentations examine topics like Stalinist anti-fascism, Soviet anti-Semitism, and the role of Jewish communities in socialist narratives. Current projects include Troubled Time: International Socialism and the Yiddish Historical Imagination, 1871-1948 and We, Robot: Socialism, Automation, and the Machine Age, with funding from PSC-CUNY and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
His 15 most recent publications highlight themes in Soviet cultural history, Jewish labor politics, and socialist economic crises. Books like The Jewish Revolution in Belorussia (2017) and Between Blues and Tsures (2023) explore Jewish identity and Soviet modernity, while articles in past & present and Judaic-Slavic Journal analyze topics such as Stalinist antifascism and the Skotsboro Boys case in Soviet context. Media contributions on energy geopolitics further demonstrate his interdisciplinary approach.
