I'm Ukrainian, born and raised in Sevastopol, Crimea. I studied journalism at university in Crimean, also international relations and sociology in Kyev. But higher education in Ukraine is very corrupt. So, I prefer individual courses from specific teachers. I have been in the profession for more than ten years. I lived and worked in Crimea, Tenerife Island, Indonesia. However, I have been investigating journalism only in recent years. I work in the journalistic investigation genre and consider it very important to myself. Now I think it is important to be in Kyev and write for Ukrainians and for Europe. Some illustrations that will tell my life story are below.
I was educated in International Journalism and PR in 2014, Simferopol, Crimea.
Last courses: Terrorism and Counterterrorism: Comparing Theory and Practice, Leiden University, 2019.

I got to know Victoria when she worked on a complicated investigative piece on the alleged sanctions' violations in the occupied Crimea. She was exceptionally persistent and thoughtful. Victoria is an impressive journalist with great talent and commitment.

Victoria has proven herself as a principled person, she appreciates her work and is attentive to the high standards of investigative journalism. Your assistance to Ms. Novikova in investigating a socially important topic is consistent with the democratic right of citizens to access accurate information.

I know this woman as a trusted expert in the information issues. I'm sure, that her work has benefits for the needs of society. Nowadays, we are in dire need of such dedicated journalists.
