Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBalint Szoke is a Virginia-based historian and defense policy analyst with a decade of research and translation experience focused on European and American security, diplomacy of force, and conventional warfare. He combines archival expertise—having digitized and translated fragile Cold War-era Hungarian materials—with real-time translation for publication, including Hungarian poetry rendered into English. Trained at the Elliott School of International Affairs (MA) and UCLA (BA History), he has contributed analysis at think tanks like the Stimson Center and supported South Asia security research. Balint’s background in graphic design and database work gives him a practical edge in managing digital assets and presenting complex findings clearly. Fluent in Hungarian, he bridges language and policy to surface underexamined archival evidence that informs contemporary security debates.
