Arsenii Shilkin

Dear members,

My name is Arsenii Shilkin and I am running for President of the Eurasian Business Society 2022/23. I joined EBS as a member of the Speaker Relations Team in September 2021. As a whole, it has been a very successful year for the society, and our division in particular. Despite the global pandemic, we have organised some incredible in-person events with renowned and interesting speakers such as Fedor Ovchinnikov (CEO of Dodo Pizza), Dmitry Glukhovsky (bestselling author), Natalia Sindeeva (CEO of Dozhd TV channel) and many others. 

For me, as I am sure for many of you, EBS has always been about a welcoming and supportive community. However, with the devastating events recently unfolding in Ukraine, this community has witnessed a catastrophe we have never seen before. EBS goal was always and will remain to unite all Russian-speaking students at UCL, and it is now more important than ever to do so. Therefore, as a potential EBS President, in the new academic year, I  am determined to concentrate my time and efforts on trying to rebuild the sense of unity and trust between us all.

Let EBS continue to unite!
