Interests: Swimming and running, my record collection, Mosfilm studio (Мосфильм) Soviet-era cinema, stargazing.

Favorite museum objects: Retreat of Napoleon’s Grand Army from Russia cover; Laundry box; and Moon mail

What I like best about working at the National Postal Museum: Getting to know our enormous collection! – with 6 million objects, I am consistently astonished by the rich and comprehensive representation of history and humanity. I also appreciate the opportunity to work across departments and contribute to an array of projects (a wonderful benefit of a smaller museum). Moreover, it is a privilege to collaborate with my dedicated colleagues and a great joy to engage with our visitors.
