Tell us about your journey after SSU
I moved to Kyiv and got a job first as a bank loan expert, after that as a publicist for a magazine, and later on as a publicist for an airline, but eventually went into journalism anyway. Because I always dreamed of this profession. I interviewed Ukrainian “Territory A” stars for school radio and wrote articles for a student newspaper.
So, when I found myself in Kyiv, I almost immediately wrote letters to the editors of my favorite magazines at the time, Cosmopolitan and Maxim. Of course, I was not answered. Because healthy ambitions are good, but they need to be backed up by experiences I haven't had. I was not upset though.
