About me
I am a researcher and media entrepreneur working at the intersection of culture and communication.
Before launching my own media projects, I spent over 10 years managing cross-border initiatives and international partnerships. I organized 20+ trade missions and expert dialogues between the UK and Russia in areas such as Smart Cities, Ecology and Sport Tech.
Today I apply this experience to Wave from the East (Volna s Vostoka) — an analytical podcast that explains contemporary society through East Asian culture.

Background
My professional expertise: before launching media projects, I spent 10 years managing projects and international partnerships (20+ business missions, 200+ companies).
Formats
Research shouldn’t remain theoretical.
Here I experiment with how to translate knowledge into modern content formats.

My Flagship Project
Podcast Wave from the East (Volna s Vostoka)
Wave from the East is a long-form analytical podcast exploring how East Asian history, aesthetics and social norms influence modern behavior, media and economic models.
The project operates as a multi-platform media ecosystem rather than a single channel: audio and video episodes, a website archive, Telegram channel and bot, social platforms and a newsletter create repeated contact with the audience across different contexts.
Language: Russian
Format: long-form narrative episodes
Audience: engaged Russian-speaking listeners across multiple countries who regularly return for new releases and discussion
Focus: culture as a practical framework for understanding contemporary society
Technology: custom Python tools and AI-assisted research workflows

Engagement
Listeners encounter ideas through listening, watching and reading, creating sustained attention rather than one-time reach.
Digital Lab
Research requires working with large volumes of information.
I use LLMs and neural networks as a second pilot: they help locate rare sources, analyze trends in original languages and support deep fact-checking.
For me, technology is also a way of structuring knowledge. The insights I uncover become digital products — Python-based Telegram bots, automated knowledge bases and interactive special projects.
A modern project doesn’t exist in isolation, so I combine storytelling with technology to sustain audience attention across formats. My stack includes professional audio production, no-code tools and custom development in Python.
