I live in Saint-Petersburg in commune flat. Work in few human rights and social projects. In "Teplitsa. Technologies for social good" I organise educational events for non-governmental organisations and social inititatives about using of technologies in their work and writa articles about good practices, In "Soldiers mothers of Saint-Petersburg" I assist a lawyer who helps people and NGOs to apply to European Court of human rights and to Constitutional Court of Russia. In Drug users Forum i assist regional activist to unite their activity in the fields of decriminalisation, destigamtisation and promoting access to antiretroviral therapy for drugs users with HIV. Do monitiring activity on police and courts, and create with friends "Police map" something like a wikipedia on police on map with visulisation with results of our monitorings about transparency and accessebility of police precincts.

I am intersted in photography esspecially in documentary. Did some reports for a small media and NGO's, few time for big (Greenpeace and The Guardian). Participated in creation of multimedia projects.

In freetime I like to brew bear, do mountain skiing and visit techno events.

Usually my travels connected with some events connected to my work or socialy activity, but i always try to find something outside the "official programme" and to meet people who could show untouristic life of city and tell me about social issues and activism without official narrative and smug.

I am new in Saint-Petersburg so if you come here I can't show and tell you a lot about it, but i have a few friends that can)
