1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
I would say that anyone who enjoys lush landscape and natural scenery, definitely should consider visiting Siberia. There’s a lot of stunning outdoor adventures like fishing, mountain climbing and skiing. Lake Baikal is especially incredible. Altai mountains are another attraction that I would highly recommend visiting as it’s breathtaking.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
In my closet, the two most important things are my classic navy blue dress and my running shoes. The navy blue dress is essential because it can be styled for any occasion, whether it's a professional event or a casual gathering, making me feel ready for anything. My running shoes are equally important as they symbolize my commitment to health and well-being. Together, these items represent both my professional readiness and my dedication to personal health.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
I enjoy baking a lot. Especially when I bake “Royal Vatrushka” - a traditional Russian dessert. It brings me a lot of joy when I see my family and friends enjoying my homemade baked goods.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
I would spend that extra hour at the gym or my Pilates class. With a full-time job, a family of 5 and all the volunteer work, that would be the best use of that hour for me.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
The dirtiest job that I ever had to do was when my husband Victor and I decided to paint our home ourselves. It was exhausting. I’m pretty sure we could’ve painted another home with all the wasted paint that was on our clothes at the end of it.
