Books by Alexei Anisin

This book examines mass shootings and attempted shootings that occurred across 16 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, known as post-communist states.

Mass shootings are playing a role in contributing to a historically unprecedented increase in gun purchases and a theoretical framework to account this increase, identifies causal pathways and mechanisms, then tests these claims on 213 cases and finds support for associations between different types of mass shootings and background checks.
