My academic qualifications are from the Faculty of Economics , Moscow State University .


I have been with Monash University since 1994.  Also, I am affiliated with the Contemporary Europe Research Centre of The University of Melbourne.

My previous experience was at applied econometric modelling and macro- and regional economic forecasting  in the former Soviet Union.  In 1985-1991 I was working on alternative submissions on economic reforms.  Some of the latest projects of that time were: an alternative plan of privatisation of government owned enterprises; feasibility studies of joint ventures; and a joint Soviet-American project on economic consequences of the reduction in defense expenditure in both countries.  I used to teach post-graduate students in Moscow and had experience of guest lecturing at several American universities.  Since 1991 academic year I have joined the Australian academic community.  In 1991, I was visiting Charles Sturt University (Wagga Wagga, NSW), and then, in 1992-1993 academic years I taught at The University of Melbourne.
