Preeprang Thanomsakchai studied Thai regime politics under Professor Vladimir Kamynin's supervision

Preeprang Thanomasakchai, PhD student at the Department of Theory and History of International Relations of the Ural Federal University, defended her thesis for the degree of candidate of political sciences at the dissertation council of Ural Federal University. The defense took place in a mixed format: members of the council were present in person, opponents - remotely.

“Preeprang is a very conscientious person. She perceives any remark as a guide to action. Everything worked out well for us. She speaks Russian perfectly: she speaks and writes excellently,” says Prof. Vladimir Kamynin, supervisor of studies at the Department of Theory and History of International Relations of UrFU. - The defense was surprisingly calm, the dissertation was very confident. As a result, 11 members of the Dissertation Board voted unanimously for the award of the Candidate of Political Sciences.”

Ms. Thanomsakchai was studying the political regime of the Kingdom of Thailand in the 21st century. In the Ph.D., she examined the phenomenon of power in the political regime: the nature of the functioning of political power, the organization of power institutions, the interaction of the state and society. The purpose of the study was to determine the features and main features of the evolution of the political regime in Thailand in 2001–2019.

Preeprang Thanomsakchai has been dealing with political issues for a long time. At Tula University, she graduated from the Master's Program in Politics. Then in 2017, in the same direction, she entered the graduate school of UrFU. She graduated from graduate school in 2019, but failed to defend herself on time in connection with the reform of the dissertation council. In 2020, the protection also had to be postponed due to the situation with coronavirus. Now Priprang is preparing to return home.
