Elena is a distinguished art historian who bridges the gap between Western art appreciation and Russian heritage. A graduate of Moscow State University, she possesses exclusive accreditation to guide within the Grand Kremlin Palace and the Diamond Fund.

She addresses the intellectual traveler, offering deep dives into the Tretyakov Gallery collections and the historical nuances of UNESCO sites.
