Heinzen is the author of two books and numerous scholarly articles in journals such as the Journal of Social History, Slavic Review, and Kritika. He has written on topics such as anticorruption campaigns, secret informant networks under Stalin, bribery as a cultural practice, attacks on “bourgeois specialists” in the 1920s, and the politics of Soviet identity after the Revolution.
