∃Who I am
There exists an approach: think clearly, explain simply
A philosopher and logician by training, an analyst and journalist by vocation. I am interested in how people think, argue and decide.
I started out as a mathematician, and it still shows: I like precise definitions and rigorous arguments. For more than twenty years I have worked in higher education, first at the National Aviation University and now at the European University in Kyiv, where I am Vice-Rector.

Thought of the day
Ви чекаєте, коли знову стане стабільно, щоб нарешті жити спокійно. А що, як тієї стабільності ніколи й не було?
◇Media
Anything can be explained if you reason honestly
Sophist_UA: analysis without slogans — facts, sources and the logic of the conclusion. Intellectual honesty matters more than speed and reach.
For journalists
Broadcasts, interviews, comments
International politics and security, information warfare, AI, education. I explain complex matters clearly, based on facts.
