I am the author of over 200 publications on linguistic and semantic theory, as well as their practical applications. My research spans areas such as political linguistics and cross-cultural communication. Currently, my work focuses on modern trends and linguistic norms in the Russian language in the context of other languages (a full list of publications is available upon request).

I have been invited as a guest lecturer at universities, colleges, and research centers across Russia, Europe, the USA,  Korea, and Taiwan. From 2005 to 2019, I was a member of the graduate faculty at the Middlebury College Russian Language Summer School in the USA. Additionally, I created and hosted a weekly radio show on the Russian language, 'Gramotei,' and a television program, 'Znaem Russkiy,' dedicated to promoting the study of the Russian language.

For me, our Faculty is an opportunity to uphold and continue the principles of modern, liberal education that we used to foster back home. The environment of collaboration and dialogue initially drew me to the Arts and Humanities program at St. Petersburg University. Over time, the program evolved into a distinct department, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, in 2011. A decade later, my colleagues and I inaugurated a faculty bearing the same name at Shaninka. And now, when we are opening FLAS, I hold firm to the belief in the educational model of Liberal Arts and Sciences and have personally witnessed the profound growth of our students. 

We welcome open-minded students who seek to study in an international environment and are ready to embrace the Liberal Arts model. Alongside their professors, they will become co-authors of their educational journey.

I'm pleased to be part of the FLAS team and be engaged in the challenging endeavor of founding a university. This institution, centered on freedom and creativity, reflects current trends in education. In the modern world, education transcends the mere transfer of knowledge; it's a dynamic dialogue shaping worldview and critical thinking, fostering individuality. The Liberal Arts model, embracing the right to make mistakes, offers diverse opportunities for forging one's path.
Initially drawn to history, I lacked a solid foundation and encountered unexpected challenges. Fortuitously, Academician I. Kovalchenko introduced me to cliometrics, a method bridging history and mathematics. My interest led to defending my thesis and a seamless transition to sociology.
I wholeheartedly believe in our project, uniting like-minded individuals. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with students to shape the future collectively.
