NDI mourns the passing of Nadia Diuk. A tireless advocate for democracy around the world, Nadia brought a rare combination of scholarly analysis and passionate activism to her role as senior advisor at the National Endowment for Democracy. Among her legacies are the thousands – perhaps millions – of democrats in Europe and Eurasia whom she empowered with her vision and determination. Ukraine was a special concern and focus of Nadia’s enormous talent. She will be remembered for her immeasurable contributions to democratic transition in Eurasia and beyond.
