Hi there! My name is Elena, and I am a technical writer living and working in Moscow, Russia. I'm passionate about technical communication, so I actively find ways to learn new stuff and establish new contacts in this sphere.
For several years I focused on writing documentation for financial software. In particular, I worked for Reuters Financial Software and Deutsche Bank. My current challenge is to set up a smooth documentation process at the IT department at Kaspersky Lab. My chief concern is to build a strong team of writers and efficiently integrate us with the rest of the company.

Here are some books related to technical writing that I read and appreciated -- and those I just can't wait to get hold of soon.

Hallo Elena
It's very interesting, seeing all those "typical day" posts together --- great idea. I'm looking forward to "A typical day in Russia" from you :)
It's cool to see your blog appear, and thank you for the links to my blog too.
I've had a look at your profile and guess what --- I'm a Scorpio too :)
Seeya on the page, Sarah
BTW, I really like your URL "tech-writer-spot". Clever choice!
Hi Sarah
Thanks for your feedback! In fact, I've been a "silent" reader of your blog at wordpress for quite a while. And your blog was one of those that inspired me to launch "Tech writer's spot" at last. :-)
These days I keep track of my typical activities (I've never realized that they're so diverse!) and hope to come up with a "Russia-specific" update later this week.
Keep in touch!

Hi Elena,
Thanks for linking to my post! By the way, NISH was migrated to shanghaitechwriter.com recently.
I look forward to "A typical day in Russia" too!
Also, I highly recommend that you try using WordPress to blog. It's a great blogging tool.
Susan
