Biography
Stanislav "Stas" Krapivnik is a military-political analyst based in Moscow. A former US Army officer and supply chain executive, he relocated to Russia and now provides commentary that combines American military training with direct observation of Russian society and policy during wartime.
His analysis focuses on the operational dimensions of the Ukraine conflict, NATO escalation dynamics, US–Russia relations, and the energy economics that underpin great-power competition. He is distinguished by his ability to contextualise Russian military decisions for Western audiences, drawing on his own professional military background.
Krapivnik publishes through his YouTube channel (MrSlavikman) and appears regularly as a guest on Pascal Lottaz's Neutrality Studies programme, Dialogue Works, and other independent shows. His Telegram channel provides more frequent, shorter-form commentary.
