Bio: Tamara was born in Moscow and lived there until she

was 13.  In 2000 her family moved to Chicago.  She has been heavily involved with the Russian Bazaar since her freshmen

year.  Tamara was a co-founder of the KVN team –

Stoli4naya in 2004.  Her junior year she spent abroad in the

UK.  While being in London, she participated in the Russian

Society and the Russian Business Society at the LSE.  She

thinks that the Russian Bazaar is the greatest student

organization ever created.  Being interested in economics and international relations, she is currently working on her senior

thesis that will combine two aspects of her studies.  She loves Russian literature and thinks that Dostoevsky and Griboedov

are the greatest novelists on the planet Earth.  She is certain that all students who participate in the Russian Bazaar definitely get

exposed to the Russian soul, something that cannot be

understood under any circumstance.
