Money, pensions, the public interest
Finance reporting from Moscow for Kommersant and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty — the point where policy reaches a household budget.
Twenty stories on Russia's pension market, published in 2021. Russian-language originals; links below.
The desk
I have a brief history with Kommersant, but learned a great deal there about high-quality business journalism. I was invited to stay after a summer reporting on the Russian pension market, but returned to the United States to finish my journalism degree.
The stories are a record of how financial systems are explained to the people asked to live inside them.
