Media (correspondent, producer, communications)
New York,NY

Summary

A highly skilled multi-media professional with in-depth knowledge of the Russian political system and establishment, its leading players, and top political influencers.

During my 27 years as a Russian-speaking journalist, I've interviewed countless Russian, US, and European officials.

As a war correspondent, I've reported live from the front lines in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine.

I can work independently, remain calm under pressure, and adapt to new situations and challenges.
