1961 born in Leningrad.
1983 - graduated from the Faculty of Biology and Soil Science, Leningrad State University. Since 1983 worked in the Botanical Museum.
1990 – defended the PhD (=Candidate of biological sciences) thesis “Maastrichtian-Danian floras of the Koryak Upland”. Scientific advisor: Prof. L.Yu. Budantsev
2004 – defended the DSc (= Doctor of biological sciences) thesis “The Cretaceous flora of Siberia”.

Main fields of interest: taxonomy of fossil plants, paleophytogeography, paleoclimatology, Cretaceous and Palaeogene floras of Arctic and North-Eastern Asia.

Current research:
- Evolution of angiosperms in the Cretaceous floras of Siberia.
- Late Cretaceous floras of Kamchatka. 
- The early aquatic angiosperms from the North-Eastern Asia.
- Influence of volcanic activity on the vegetation dynamics in Kamchatka.
- Palaeogene flora of Spitzbergen.
- Cretaceous biota and K/T boundary of Heilongjiang river area.
