I got into journalism immediately after the university. We can say, by chance: I studied at a psychotherapist. But work in the newspaper turned up, and at first got involved, and then fell in love. In the end, psychology and journalism have two common denominations. Both that, and another, it seems to me, exists to make people more adaptive, smarter, more flexible. Both that and another are built on the comprehension of amazing ones, often as if existing in a separate dimension, worlds. The difference is only in the direction of the gaze - outside or inside.
My journalistic career began modestly (although very fun) - edited readers' letters. Then he became a correspondent of the Opinion, later the observer of the Department of International Politics, and there it went: reporter, editor, special corner, fixer, producer, now, now, the investigator.
I worked a lot where and many with whom. What I didn’t write about for: “Novaya Gazeta”, “Russian Reporter”, “Medusa”, “Poster”, “Big City”, Citizen K, The Washington Post, Aftonbladet and OCCRP. I produced the documentary and news for BBC, Vice, and France24 in Russia, as well as for RTS, CCTV, NPR and TV3 in the Donbass and in Crimea.
And almost always these were important stories. Now only they will be.
