Anton Semyzhenko

Head of English Version

During my 15 years in journalism I've tried everything I was interested in: hosted news on the radio, made podcasts about music, covered business processes in a daily newspaper, wrote long, "slow" features for weeklies and monthlies. In Babel I had luxury of covering everything I'd like ― from reviewing a book about sweat to covering Motor Sich plant problems, from making a profile of 77-years-old sex instructor to large report about election campaign concerts during COVID infections spike.

Since the start of the full-scale war I switched from doing what I like to what seems to be more important: I coordinate work of newly-established English-language department and collaboration with foreign media, so as many people in the world as possible can have quality and truthful information about Ukraine.
