WINE
Wine is not just a drink. It is art.
Rich Style Magazine
I’ve launched the first international wine magazine in partnership with the Fine Wine Magazine. I’ve convinced some finest winemakers to contribute to this issue. I wrote articles, translated, and edited the English version of the magazine. Feel free to read it here.
Result: +40% of new niche advertisers (some of them even called themselves and offered partnerships).
Wine retailer Aromatny Mir
Goal: Execute the rebranding process and change the image of the corner shops into wine boutiques with a unique selection of fine wines.

POLITICS
Local elections in St. Petersburg
In 2019, I participated in the elections running for local office with the Russian opposition social-liberal party Yabloko. I was a candidate in the district where I have lived for over ten years. I went through all the bureaucratic procedures and got registered as a candidate, organized a pre-election campaign, fundraised, and observed the election process.


NGO
Happy to volunteer for Human Rights organizations
I can help with promotion and translations, and teach English or Russian as a foreign language.
I’ve organized the annual charity project Beauty in the Name of Kindness in partnership with Guerlain. The project helped families with low income to receive proper school education and fundraise for the school of the Shostakovich family in St. Petersburg. Media support provided over 120+ million reach.
I believe that proper education is key to a better future.
For four years, I volunteered at the Children of St. Petersburg,
an organization that helps children of migrants and refugees to integrate into society. I taught Russian as a foreign language, organized social events for children, and helped to spread the word about the organization.
