Máté György Vigóczki

Máté György Vigóczki (Hungary) is a Fellow with IWP’s Center for Intermarium Studies.

He holds an M.A. in International Relations from Pázmány Péter Catholic University and an M.A. in Russian Studies from Eötvös Lóránd University. In 2025, he will defend his dissertation at the doctoral program in Geopolitics at the University of Pécs.

Since 2013, his research has focused on Russia, Russian geopolitical thinking and, in this context, the Russian identity, which he believes is essential for understanding the drivers of Moscow’s foreign policy today. In addition to his professional work, Vigóczki is especially proud to have been a regular traveler to Russia and the surrounding states for almost a decade, allowing him to gain an extensive understanding of the region through first-hand experiences.
