Description

Hi! Bonjour! (En français ci-dessous)

My name's Misha, I'm 26 years old. I fled Russia in 2022 due to risks of political prosecution, I was involved with a political opposition as well as independent media, I even was interviewed by such TV-channels as CNN, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg. Myself I have a substantial social media following (more than 350k followers, you can find everywhere @mishapetrow) and I was speaking out against the war publicly, which is not making it safe to stay.

So, since then I have lived in Georgia, Serbia, Argentina, and Indonesia, where I'm based right now. Before that, I studied in the USA for a year, and did volunteering in India, visited many European countries as well.

Except for politics (I do have a political science degree after all), I'm interested in psychology and self-improvement. I live an active life, try to do sports, connect with people, do what excites me. Love listening to podcasts (My favorite: diary of a CEO).

My earning comes from my blogs, where I write about whatever I find interesting. One of my biggest hobbies is a social intellectual and psychological game "mafia" where 10 people have to figure who is mafia.

I'm interested in entrepreneurship, behavioural and social sciences, mindfulness practices, cultural debates, innovation, good tv-shows, exploring new, being open-minded and pursuing interest rather than happiness.

My favorite books include the ones that explain human behavior and how to change it from a scientific point of view. I also studied as a life coach a bit:)

Je m'appelle Misha, j'ai 26 ans. J'ai fui la Russie en 2022 en raison de risques de poursuites politiques. J'étais impliqué dans l'opposition politique ainsi que dans les médias indépendants. J'ai même été interviewé par des chaînes telles que CNN, Deutsche Welle et Bloomberg. J’ai moi-même une audience importante sur les réseaux sociaux (plus de 350 000 abonnés, on peut me trouver partout sous @mishapetrow), et j’ai pris publiquement position contre la guerre, ce qui rendait mon séjour en Russie dangereux.

Depuis, j’ai vécu en Géorgie, en Serbie, en Argentine et en Indonésie, où je réside actuellement. Avant cela, j’ai étudié un an aux États-Unis, fait du bénévolat en Inde et visité de nombreux pays européens.

En plus de la politique (j’ai un diplôme en sciences politiques), je m’intéresse à la psychologie et au développement personnel. Je mène une vie active, j’essaie de faire du sport, de créer des liens avec les gens et de suivre ce qui me passionne. J’adore écouter des podcasts (mon préféré : Diary of a CEO).

Je gagne ma vie grâce à mes blogs, où j’écris sur ce que je trouve intéressant. Un de mes plus grands passe-temps est un jeu social, intellectuel et psychologique appelé « mafia », où dix personnes doivent découvrir qui est le mafieux.

Je m'intéresse à l'entrepreneuriat, aux sciences comportementales et sociales, aux pratiques de pleine conscience, aux débats culturels, à l’innovation, aux bonnes séries, à l’exploration de nouvelles idées, à l’ouverture d’esprit et à la recherche de l’intérêt plutôt que du bonheur.

Parmi mes livres préférés, il y a ceux qui expliquent le comportement humain et comment le changer d’un point de vue scientifique. J’ai aussi suivi une petite formation de coach de vie :)
