Check FAQAbout Neil
I am a Canadian journalist and analyst focused on the Caucasus, Russia, Ukraine and Syria. From 2014 to 2017, I served as Senior Intelligence Analyst at The SecDev Group. I write extensively on conflict, politics and international relations and have reported on the ground during the 2020 Armenia-Azerbaijan War in Nagorno-Karabakh, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022-present), and post-Assad Syria. I have written for a wide array of prominent publications, including CBC, CTV, CNN, New York Magazine, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, and Foreign Affairs. I have also consulted on issues of security, governance and radicalization for the European Union, OSCE, US Marine Corps, and other organizations. I hold an MA in Russian and Eurasian Studies from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, in which I largely focused on the Caucasus. I previously studied at Saint Petersburg State University in Saint Petersburg, Russia, focused on Russian language training. I am professionally competent in Russian and have intermediate proficiency in Armenian. I am presently engaged as a freelance journalist, researcher and consultant based in Yerevan, Armenia. I travel regularly through the former Soviet Union, including recent work in Ukraine. I am actively searching for new opportunities, so please do feel free to get in touch here.
