Biography

Born and bred in Moscow, I moved to Cambridge to read for the Theological Tripos, followed by the Hebrew Bible MPhil in the Divinity Faculty. It did not take me long to fall in love with the exhilarating academic environment at Cambridge, and I was excited and honoured to join the Gates Cambridge community to do my PhD here as well. My academic interests centre on the literature, language, history, and religion of ancient Israel from its origins to the Second Temple Period. My work revolves particularly around the scribal culture behind the production of the Hebrew Bible.
