Curriculum Vitae

Born and raised in Moscow, I majored in economics and management and obtained a bachelor’s degree with honours from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) followed by a double master’s at Higher School of Economics in Moscow and Humboldt University, Berlin. In Berlin, I completed the five-month International Parliamentary Scholarship program, working as a research fellow for an MP at the German Bundestag. 

After returning to Moscow, I combined teaching at MSU with full-time jobs in the private sector and later in an international political foundation. Inspired by these experiences and pulled by my ever-growing interest to political science, I started my PhD studies at Bocconi University to pursue a research career. 

Apart from English, I speak German, Italian and Russian. I can also understand Belarusian and Ukrainian relatively well  in reading and listening. Feel welcome to address me in any of these languages.
