Evgeny Morozov is an online media and digital activism expert from Belarus. He is writing a book on how the Internet influences civic engagement and regime stability in authoritarian and semi-authoritarian societies such as China, Egypt, Russia, and Venezuela. He is focusing on the unanticipated consequences of increased Internet usage, including nationalist activism and the dampening effects of new online social freedoms on political engagement.

Morozov has written on new media and technology for numerous publications, including the Economist, International Herald Tribune, Open Democracy, Le Monde, Newsweek, Slate, and Foreign Policy. He also blogs on the Foreign Policy website at Net.Effect.

He is currently a member of the OSI Information Program sub-board. He will be based at the Open Society Institute's New York office during the term of the fellowship.
