    Cultural Connection

    When doing business in another country it is important to learn more about the local culture. It is possible to do even with time constraints of a business trip – passing in a taxi by famous sights or taking a walk through Red Square, see the iconic monuments and learn the history behind them… or pay a quick visit to a museum in your free time, or even organize a tour or museum activity for your team while in Moscow - because art and beauty make our lives better. Julia is there to help – with her professional guiding license covering all the key sights and museums of Moscow.

    Personal Assistant Services

    Very often, in my experience, assisting a businessman on a visit to Russia involves more than just interpreting. Usually, without local knowledge and often with substantial time difference, it is difficult to liaise with local partners to schedule your visit. Or sometimes the job requires searching the Russian Internet and coming up with a summary – or a site or venue visit in case of FMCG (or even do a remote inspection online). In case of public speeches or seminars, it is good to have your visual materials translated and presented in Russian. And, finally, even booking a restaurant – or even advise one, - a taxi or a train ticket may require assistance. I am happy to offer personal assistant services to make your visit to Russia efficient – for you and your team – from meeting scheduling to compiling reports and presentations.
