Nellie Hauke Ohr (also Nellie H. Ohr) is a U.S. historian of Russia and an independent open-source researcher. Public records and her October 19, 2018, House testimony identify her as the wife of then–DOJ official Bruce G. Ohr and as a Fusion GPS contractor in 2015–2016. This page is identity only. The episodes live in the posts. This is not the biography she would write.

About Nellie Hauke Ohr
Titles and dates come from her House testimony, university records, and official releases. Emphasis is the compiler’s. No free-license portrait of her was located; none was generated.
Documented roles
- Training. A.B., Harvard–Radcliffe, History and Literature (Russia); M.A. and Ph.D. in History, Stanford University. 1990 dissertation: Collective farms and Russian peasant society, 1933–1937: The stabilization of the kolkhoz order. H-Net profile; ProQuest / Stanford record.

- ~2000–2008. Independent contractor supporting U.S. government clients through MITRE (her testimony). Same transcript.
- From 2008. She said she “worked for Open Source Works,” “not directly” as a government employee. Public-source write-ups and a 2019 FBI analysis describe about six years as a CIA contract open-source analyst. Treat that shop line as reported, not as a CIA personnel record or a GS rank. See the Open Source Works post.
- Oct. 2015–Sep. 2016. Fusion GPS independent contractor, her sworn dates; $55/hour, from home; open-source research on Donald Trump and Russian organized crime. Same transcript.
- As of Oct. 19, 2018. Employed by Accensure iDefense (her testimony).
- Family public fact. Married to Bruce G. Ohr, then a senior DOJ official. That marriage is why her Fusion contract became a congressional subject. Family addresses are omitted.
What this site is not
It is not a finding that Nellie Ohr committed a crime. An FBI analysis is not a court finding. A Meadows referral is not an indictment. Durham described Fusion reports; he did not convict her. This site does not invent quotes, a CIA rank, or a conviction. It does not treat a Technician amateur license as covert traffic.
It is not a White House product. It is not lawsuit-proof. Read the posts.
