About me
I am a native speaker of Russian living in Moscow. I have a Master's degree cum laude and a PhD degree in economics from Lomonosov Moscow State University (one of the oldest Russian higher education establishments) as well as experience of work in the field as the head of a unit of a research institute, a lecturer of a college and the head of the reporting department of a bank. I also worked as an in-house translator and editor for several newspapers and magazines (including "Economics and Life" and "Business-Week-Russia"). Currently I am a full-time freelance translator and editor specializing in law and finance.

I am currently all-time Kudoz leader in Law (Contracts), Finance (General), Business/Commerce, Economics, Investment/Securities and Real Estate.

SOME OF MY RECENT PROJECTS INCLUDE:
*Translation of a share pledge agreement
*Translation of a license agreement

I also translate and edit UN materials (materials of UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNEP etc.) on a regular basis.

Now I mostly translate and edit contracts, financial statements and different UN publications but I began my career as a freelance translator from translating books for 5 Moscow publishing houses. I have translated about 30 books mostly on economics, but also on human resources, law and psychology. I am happy to have been able to translate into Russian several famous financial textbooks, including:
