I am from Siberia, born in Novosibirsk - 3rd biggest city in Russia (1.5 mln), capital of Siberia. Finished BA in Sociology in "Academgorodok" - scientific town south of Novosibirsk. Moved to Moscow, because of much greater opportunities. Got MA here in Demography, now continuing as a Phd student.

Just calm and modest person. Only traveled Siberia and Russia so far, because of the large distances.

Work as Research Assistant.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can ask me anything - I am open to any talks :) It is always a pleasure to share something from your home and to learn something from other culture.
