I’m a political refugee from Russia, now living in the U.S. with my husband. We’re both stand-up comedians performing in Russian, mostly for immigrant communities.
I left Russia after it invaded Ukraine and I no longer felt safe staying there. Comedy is my way to process everything — and connect with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're often traveling to different cities to perform, and usually meet only Russian speakers — which slows down our English and keeps us in a bubble.
Couchsurfing seems like a great way to break that pattern and connect more directly with the places we visit.
Our English isn't perfect yet, but we’re open, curious, and always happy to listen and learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

My husband reads books from morning till night, but my anxiety makes it hard for me to concentrate lately.
I love movies — especially Wes Anderson’s.
I’m into rock, rap, and Stromae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once witnessed Daniel Sloss kiss a fan after a show in Moscow. Good old times.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You can join us for a show — it will be in Russian, but you're very welcome!
After the performance, we usually go for a walk, have drinks or chat with the audience and other comics.
We’re easygoing guests, don’t need much, and always clean up after ourselves.
Happy to cook a simple dinner or help with something if needed
