Public Law Disputes
I take on complex cases — honestly and professionally
I am an attorney based in Moscow. My focus is on cross-border family matters, archival cases related to Soviet-era repression, international human-rights protection, and disputes with state authorities. I take on legally complex matters that require careful analysis and a strategic approach.
Previously, I was Co-Head of the Legal Department at a renowned human rights organisation that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022.
I litigated in Russian courts and represented applicants before the European Court of Human Rights and other international bodies.
In 2019, I received the “Best in Law” award for a case on compensation for victims of a counter-terrorism operation in Dagestan — hundreds of people received compensation as a result.
I also started and co-developed an ECtHR complaint generator for cases concerning detention at public assemblies. Around 3,500 applications were filed using this tool, giving me a systematic view of admissibility criteria and the Court’s approach to mass cases.
I now run an independent practice.
My practice focuses on cross-border family matters, inheritance matters involving Russian assets and heirs living abroad, archival cases related to Soviet-era repression, international human-rights protection, and disputes with state authorities.
I studied in Russia, the United States, and Hungary. I work in Russian, English, and French.
