Tatiana Linkhoeva

Tatiana Linkhoeva is an Associate Professor of History at New York University's College of Arts & Science. Her research focuses on modern Japan, empire/imperialism, and Russo-Soviet-Japanese relations, with additional interests in transnational political thought and Cold War historiography.

Education:

• PhD in History, University of California, Berkeley (2015)
• MA in Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, University of Tokyo (2006)

Her award-winning work challenges Eurocentric narratives of Japanese anti-communism and Cold War-era compartmentalization of Eurasian history. She has held fellowships from the Japan Foundation, Hoover Institute, and German Excellence Initiative. Her 2020 monograph Revolution Goes East recontextualizes Soviet-Japanese interactions during the 1920s, while her current project compares imperial formations in Mongolia across 1900-1950.

Recent publications demonstrate her expertise in transnational radical movements, Cold War historiography, and Eurasian identity politics. Articles span topics from medieval samurai-Chinggis Khan narratives to Soviet federalism trajectories, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to Japanese-Soviet-Mongolian intersections.
