Anna Mazanik graduated from Moscow State University and received her MA in History from Central European University in Budapest. In 2009 she joined the PhD program at CEU with a project "Hygiene, Public Health, and Urban Environment in Late-Imperial Moscow" that explores how the institutionalization of hygiene and the public health campaigns affected the management of wastes, the use of natural resources, human-animal relations and the understanding of pollution in the time of bacteriological discoveries and rapid industrialization. In 2012 Anna was a visiting fellow at the Institute of the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and at TU Darmstadt in 2013.
