RECOMMENDATION LETTER - David Lister, Arts Editor, The Independent:
To Whom It May Concern
I can confirm that Nikita did work experience on the arts desk of The Independent. We found him to be enthusiastic and reliable, and he showed initiative and was a self-starter on projects, as well as being able to take direction when necessary. He worked quickly and efficiently and was a valuable member of the team.
RECOMMENDATION LETTER - Julia Bordovskikh, editor of Bosco di Chiliegi
“Nikita is a constant columnist in BoscoMagazine. His subtle and sharp articles have illustrated more than a few issues of the magazine. His unique house style, particular approach to journalism and undisguised romanticism have found a way to our writers’ hearts who are used to the set article design of our magazine. Relentless complexity of his work and extraordinarily all-inclusive angle set Nikita’s work ahead of his time and competition. All this allows the journalist to uncover the topic within previously unseen context, which enables the reader to come into understanding of the issue in much more depth.
It is important that between the lines there can be clearly seen the potential with which Nikita is ready to go forward, to the new literary achievements.”
