Jeremy Morris (born 1974) is a British ethnographer and political anthropologist[1] specializing on Russia and the former Soviet Union. He is Professor in Russian and Global Studies at Aarhus University, Denmark. Formerly he was the Co-Director of the Centre for Russian, European and Eurasian Studies[2] at the University of Birmingham, UK. He received his DPhil in Russian Studies at the University of Sussex. His areas of research interest include informal economy, class, precarity and postsocialism more generally.[3]
In an interview with the Moscow Times in 2025, in emerged that Morris was one of the few Western scholars to have continued research fieldwork in Russia since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[4] The war in Ukraine also prompted him to repeatedly criticize coverage of Russia which relied on public opinion surveys, and journalists who resorted to reductionist stereotyping of Russians.[5][6] Morris also criticized the political naivete of some of the Russian political opposition in exile[7] and was among those who predicted that the war in Ukraine would lead to Russia becoming more like North Korea.[8]
