Ivan Petrov Email & Phone Number

I have a fairly diverse background. For a long time, I was interested in information technology, I studied robotics at ITMO (St. Petersburg), and programming at Lyceum 239 in Physics and Mathematics, after that I went quite deep into biology, and participated in 4 expeditions (3 of which were polar), I am the author of research on ornithofauna of the Barents Sea coast. Having said all that, I have been working as a journalist since 2018 (mainly visual journalism), covering politics and culture. Since 2020 (I was 16 at the time) I have worked with the Associated Press, one of the largest news agencies in the world. I am studying to become a political scientist and will receive my bachelor's degree in 2024. As a part of the course, I am studying big data and machine learning (Python and R), statistics and sociology, political philosophy, systems of society and state, the influence of politics on sports and sports on politics, formation of national movements and role of nation in state-building, analysis of state politics. I plan to go to postgraduate school and get my PhD. At the institute, I have been carrying out consistent self-government reform for three years now. Changed the electoral system (the reform's expertise was carried out by the Golos movement (Russia's main electoral experts, who advised the Central Electoral Commission before being claimed as foreign agents), as well as by Observers of St Petersburg). In 2023, I plan to change the structure of student self-governance by extending its powers.
