I was born in the Republic of Komi and I personally can see that Komi people have a lot of difficulties needed to be solved. Some other Finno-Ugric peoples have the same situation. It is important to create and maintain appropriate conditions for preserving and developing languages, cultures and education and improving the socio-economic situation. This is one of the reasons why I have decided to dedicate my research to the institutions of ethnopolitics and to examine good and bad practices in this regard. | I’m originally from Germany, but have been living in Tartu for six years now. | I've lived in the UK, seen immigrants losing connection with their native language and culture and lived myself in the way that I use Estonian only when my mother calls me, which in the end made me understand that my native language is part of me and the reason I returned is that I can't be myself without it. |

I’m interested in a multi-faceted nature of the Finno-Ugric world, especially the possibilities of bringing the old traditions and ways of thinking into the ever-changing modern life. That’s where the future – or even rebirth, if I may say so – of the Finno-Ugric cultures lie. And the future is in our hands. | All of the finno-ugric people are like brothers - we share the layer of thoughts coming from ancient times. Since I started my studies in University of Tartu, one of main goals of my life is to help one language survive one day longer than without me. That is why I am specialise in computational linguistics - to have the knowledge how to use the correct tools for language revitalization. |
