Second-year undergraduate in International Relations. Interested in AI governance, tech policy, and the structural incentives that shape how governments and AI companies negotiate over control of frontier systems.

I focus on the gap between declared positions and operational reality: what institutions say they want vs. what their incentive structures actually produce.

Building toward a career in AI governance and policy.

Full name: Viacheslav Kolodiazhnyi.

Feedback on my analysis – I'm early in my career and learning in public. Introductions to people working in AI governance, especially at policy institutes and fellowship programs. Pointers to opportunities in the field that are open to non-US/non-EU applicants.

I can offer:

Close reading and detailed feedback on drafts – especially on structure, argumentation, and whether claims are supported by evidence.

Historical and comparative context for AI governance questions – I have a deep background in European political history, institutional design, and how states have historically managed relationships with critical suppliers.

Russian-language source access – I can read and translate Russian-language policy documents, media coverage, and academic work that may not be accessible to English-speaking researchers.

Perspective from outside the usual jurisdictions – I'm based in Central Asia with experience living in Russia, which sometimes surfaces assumptions that are invisible from other regions of the world.
