Currently I'm working on my PhD thesis related to the study of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. I also study Clinical Psychology in the Institute of Psychotherapy and Clinical Psychology in Moscow. As a translator, I've translated into Russian articles of M. Pasi and A. Versluis and the Introduction of G. Magee’sHegel and the Hermetic Tradition. I'm also a secretary of the Association for the Study of Esotericism and Mysticism (http://aiem-asem.org/index/main_page/0-32).

Main research interests: Western Esotericism (especially modern esoteric currents), New Religious Movements (Thelema, Satanism, modern Western Paganism), History and Philosophy of Science, Clinical Psychology (especially studies in religious paranoia and religious delusions) and Neuroscience (studies of religious experience in neuroscience).
