This is the website of Mark Marchenko. I am a researcher and a writer with degrees in Linguistics, Cultural studies and Literature, including  the MSc degree from the University of Edinburgh. My academic and professional interests are closely interlinked and include: language acquisition, heroism, Western history and literature, classical and renaissance philosophy, mediaeval military history, modern hybrid warfare and intelligence. Moreover, I write fiction in both English and Russian. My professional activities also include client work: market research, talent mapping, and executive search. 

Below you will find the updated collection of my articles and fiction work. For information about my writing style, this site’s philosophy, structure, and technical details see the Site page; for information about myself, my professional path, see About Me page.
