Svetlana Kolchik — Journalist, Writer, Blogger, Public Speaker

In 2023 my second book, The New Family, came out. It talks aobut the new family and relationship formats in Europe and Russian. The book has instantly become a bestseller and has already been republished several times.

That’s how many languages I speak, in addition to my native Russian. I’ve lived in four countries, and for the past ten years, I’ve been splitting my time between Moscow and Hamburg, raising my two trilingual boys

15 times I've spoken about Evolution of Love in eight European cities in 2024, since my bestselling book, New Family, came out

10 years i've worked as the deputy chief editor of Marie Claire magazine, covering women’s issues from datelines across the globe. My stories have also appeared in USA Today, the U.S. edition of Marie Claire, Condé Nast Traveler, and other print and online media.

For the past two years, I’ve been working for a major international online media platform focused on artificial intelligence. I also have my own telegram channel

years — that’s how long I’ve been writing about women’s empowerment, sex, and relationships. Born in the USSR—a country that no longer exists—I graduated from Moscow State University and Columbia University’s School of Journalism in New York
