Valeriia Sementina has a BA in Journalism from St. Petersburg State University, Russia, and an MSc in Media and Communication Studies from Lund University, Sweden. Before starting her doctoral studies, she worked as a journalist and editor, covering local economy and bottom-up initiatives in Russian cities outside the capital region.
