I started trading on the Moscow Exchange in 2005 as a private trader. Since 2010, I have been a financial markets analyst. I worked as an analyst in several brokerage companies in Russia and then in Ukraine since 2018. I also worked for a leading financial media outlet in Ukraine, covering global markets for Ukrainian readers. I specialize in macroeconomics and general market trends. I am also interested in history and philosophy. Although I received my economic education at Yakutsk State University, I am still largely self-taught. I see Seeking Alpha as a step up in my development, and an exit from the regional market to the global market with an opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas with the whole world.
