EL : My current duties include already the essence of my professional background . It all started when the first Russian families visiting the Principality asked me to support them in some way . I started then to improve myself by practicing day by day , based on my knowledge . Thus , I decided to turn all that into a professional activity providing a linguistic , administrative and legal aid for Russian speakers who want to settle in Monaco on a personal or professional basis , or to join the Monegasque education system or reside in the Principality , etc . My role as facilitator is total , being used to accompanying my clients to any governmental or municipal department . The trust I have established is the best ‘ business card ’ that passes from mouth to mouth . I built piece by piece what I am today that is much more than I expected . And taking care of many things is the most intriguing part . As an example , I am collaborating with the Monaco Economic Board ( MEB ), where I am enrolled as a translator & interpreter in the framework of the business activities with Russia . Then , I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my thanks to Guillaume Rose , CEO of the Monaco Economic Board for his long-lasting confidence in our collaboration , and his team who can always count on my being actively present in their network .

: Do you feel integrated in the Monegasque community ?
EL : I do , absolutely . I am founder and manager of Monaco Translations , a company registered in the Principality of Monaco . I had the honour of being sworn in as a trilingual interpreter and translator within the Monaco Palace of Justice . For this I feel very proud . My business definitely involves multi-tasking and is very dynamic , primarily addressed to the Russian speaking community who live in the Principality but also to the international audience . On a more personal level , I do believe that Monaco ’ s education system is

perfect for my children , the best they could ever have had . At their young age they can already communicate in several languages from French to English , from Italian to Russian … it is amazing ! Safety , economic stability and cultural environment are all on top in Monaco . And the health crisis
The same happens for the Club of Foreign Residents in Monaco ( CREM ) that I really consider as my ‘ family ’, contributing to President Madame Louisette Azzoaglio Levy-Soussan ’ s and Director Chris Dhondt ’ s precious efforts to welcome new members of various nationalities who are establishing themselves here to live or to do business . This role truly represents my cosmopolitan DNA and I was honored to become part of the Board of Directors first and then , to be named General Secretary .
: Reliability is essential in your field of expertise , what makes you unique compared to others ?
EL : I never considered other colleagues as ‘ competitors ’ on the assumption that everyone has his own competence and I always try to make my knowledge available , my savoir faire , in nearly all environments I look after . My client-oriented assistance
