Education and work in South Korea[edit]
He arrived in South Korea for the first time in 2003, and received the highest score, for a Russian, on the language proficiency test TOPIK. He completed a master's degree at the Korean Language Institute of Yonsei University as a scholarship student supported by the Korea Foundation, and in 2015 was studying for a Ph.D in anthropology and linguistics at the University of South Carolina. He is fluent in Japanese, English , French and Spanish, as well as Korean.[5]

He is a contributing columnist for Korea.net, sharing anecdotal and cultural perspectives as a Russian living in Seoul.[7][8][9][10]
Broadcast and acting career[edit]
On 17 November 2014 he was a "visiting intern" guest on the JTBC talk-variety show Non-Summit, that was made of a cast of young men from different countries, living in Seoul, who debated and discussed issues, in Korean, with perspectives they brought from their various cultures, from their native countries.[4][11] He was selected to become a permanent cast member on 12 January 2015 for Episode 28.[2][3] As part of the cast, along with more serious discussions, he shared his old-fashioned dress style of bell-bottoms,[12][13] entertained with a song duet with Baek Jiyoung,[14][15] and told stories of growing up in Russia.[16] When Non-Summit changed six members of the cast on 29 June 2015, after Episode 52,[17] in order to add new cast from different countries, he was recognized, by his fans and the show's audience, as a special contributing member to the show's reception.[18][19][20][21]
