Denys Gorbach

Denys Gorbach, a postdoctoral researcher and author of The Making and Unmaking of the Ukrainian Working Class, draws on years of ethnography in Kryvyi Rih. He explores everyday politics and moral economy, shifting readings of populism, and how housing and factory privatization reshaped workers’ expectations. He also discusses wartime mobilization, political fluidity, and what might reawaken mass political engagement.
