His AZEast Group biography:
ROMAN KUPCHINSKY has been involved in investigating and assessing Ukrainian and Eurasian affairs since the mid-1970s when he headed Prolog Research Corporation in New York, London and Munich, which focused on monitoring and analyzing the social and geopolitical developments in the then U.S.S.R. From 1989 until 2001, he was the head of the Ukrainian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty based in Munich and Prague and later became a senior analyst on energy questions in the former U.S.S.R for RFE/RL. In 2001, he became the editor of the “Crime, Corruption & Terrorism Watch” published weekly by RFE/RL. Based on different sources in the Eurasian countries, this publication exposed some of the dangerous trends and activities which have emerged in the post-communist world, trends which constitute real dangers to democracy worldwide and may be disconcerting obstacles to businesses venturing into these markets. Presently, he is the author of numerous articles about Ukrainian and Eurasian affairs, international energy security issues, and organized crime and corruption in the Russian energy sector.
