I am currently pursuing my MLitt in Early Modern History at the University of St Andrews as a Chevening Scholar. In July 2019 graduated from the Yenching Academy at Peking University (Beijing) with a M.A. in China Studies and Economics. Before that I received my B.A. in History from the Higher School of Economics (Moscow).

Previously, I worked for the Higher School of Economics and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, doing research on the WWII history for two book publications. Then, I held the position of Project Coordinator in the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, participated in the Project 1917 as a historical journalist and reconstructed the Russian system of national accounts for the 19th c. as Senior Researcher in the RANEPA's project. My most recent employment was with the Center for China and Globalization, a think tank based in Beijing.

In the past few years, I published extensively on problems of Russian and international politics (such as federalism and interethnic relations) and economic policy in various media including Forbes.ru, Republic and the War on the Rocks. Most recently, I contributed 21 articles to Novaya Gazeta, a major oppositional newspaper in Russia.
