Eduard Kotendzhy is a Research Fellow at Solid Info, focusing on American domestic politics, geopolitical competition, and the role of the Middle East in international affairs. He is a PhD Candidate and holds a Master of Laws from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
At Solid Info, Eduard assesses US domestic political processes and their implications for the international context, analyses strategies of political and financial-economic actors in the United States and beyond, and examines the conduct of autocratic and democratic governments. His research covers the origins and evolution of local conflicts within broader great power rivalries, the geopolitical consequences of political, economic, and social change, and the forces reshaping the international balance of power. He draws on cross-national sociological data to track shifting political, economic, and social expectations in key states.
Between 2020 and 2024, Eduard held several internships before serving as an assistant to a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, where he developed hands-on experience in legislative process and policy analysis. His work relies heavily on primary sources, including international media, reports from multilateral organisations, and research by leading sociologists and subject-matter experts.
