Maksim, how did the possibility of living in London come about?
I've always been drawn to London. It's a great place for growing professionally, especially in my area of work. Yes, working here can be tough because people are really competitive, but I see that as a good chance to push myself. I've had some great times in the UK before – like attending summer schools at Oxford and Cambridge several years ago and doing my first year of university here. My sister studied there too. All these good memories make me want to continue my journey in London.
