My Channels & Feeds
My Subscriptions
I like studying other people’s experience solving problems, case studies, especially breakdowns of mistakes, and growth hacks. A broad outlook and a well-trained eye let me make more balanced decisions — in creating and choosing products, both at work and in life.
Oddly enough, right now, as of August 2026, I get a lot of interesting information through X (ex Twitter) and English-speaking part of LinkedIn — for a quality feed, I had to actively work on networking outside the CIS and mute irrelevant Russian-speaking voices, but the result is decent.

Economy, Finance, AI and High Tech
- The only email newsletter I currently pay for is The Bell: besides Russian economic news, they cover key events around the world well, including significant events in the world of AI; they also have separate products — The Bell.Tech and The Bell.Invest, but I haven't gotten to those yet.
- Pavel Komarovsky's channel about finance and more; according to him, he was asked to leave "Habr".
- There's an AI section on Think with Google, a lot of AI stuff comes through Product Hunt, and I pick up the rest from AI blogs by Alexander Gorny and Sergey Tsyptsyn.
- I find out about tech news from Samat Galimov and Andrey Sebrant, and there's a great podcast by Ivan Yamshchikov.
Startups, Product Management & Design
- Product Hunt, HackerNoon.
- Substack: Product Growth by Aakash Gupta (though his texts are mostly generated), The Product Compass by Paweł Huryn, Andrew Chen, Behind the Craft by Peter Yang, Leah’s ProducTea by Leah Tharin, Lenny's Newsletter by Lenny Rachitsky, Productify by Bandan Singh, Product Coalition, Products That Count, Elena's Growth Scoop.
- LinkedIn communities: The Product Folks, PM School by NextLeap, Products by Women, Women In Product, Mind the Product, Product School, Creators Of Products, Product-Led Alliance, Product Space, HelloPM.
- Reddit: /r/ProductManagement/ and /r/ProductMarketing/.
- In Russian I keep an eye on Kolesa Group, the GoPractice blog, VC.ru, Alexander Gorny, Arkady Moreinis, Alexey Chernyak, Yuri Vetrov, Konstantin Gorsky, Valeria Kurmak. There's sometimes something useful on "Habr" too. Other interesting feeds: "make sense" podcast from the ProductSense conference, Epic Growth.
Marketing
- In English I'm subscribed to news from Think with Google, Rex Woodbury, my own themed list on X (formerly Twitter), and a bunch of marketing-adjacent boards on Reddit.
- In the Russian-language segment I follow news from Adventum (here's their Kaspi case study), Calltouch, Yandex.Advertising. I read the blogs of Linor Goralik, Konstantin Naychukov, Maxim Ilyakhov, Alimzhan Bisembayev, Max Korolkov, Lena Dmitrieva, Pavel Giorgobiani and specifically for ABM — Dan Gridin. In my time I used to attend the well-known GoAnalytics and YaC/m, MarTech, and Meduza's Storms. In Almaty I managed to catch the Saturday meetups with Stas Dubinchik. Of the podcasts, I recommend Marketing and Reality.
Management and Change Management
- In Russian I read the blog "By Other Hands" (the author's books: www.regular.management), and Max Desyatykh's blogs — "Creative Director" and "Managing a Custom Digital Product Development Firm". I'd also warmly recommend the "It's a Fail" podcast — you can listen from the very beginning, a lot of it is still relevant, and the first season of the "Same Old Rake" podcast. Interesting things sometimes show up on the huntflow.ru blog.
- It's hard to recommend a single management theory; I'd start with Michael Watkins' book "The First 90 Days" and Adizes' books like "The Ideal Executive". At a more advanced level — closer to MBA — you can take the free LinkedIn course Preparing for the GMAT and work through the Critical Reasoning GMAT Strategy Guide by Manhattan. The MBA.com site also has free study materials and free practice tests.
- For change management it's worth checking out Adizes again — "Managing Corporate Lifecycles", and John Kotter's books. On the "By Other Hands" blog, relevant posts are under the tag #road_to_change, and separately I attended Maria Klochko's webinar.
Wellbeing in General and Psychology in Particular
- The first season of the "Same Old Rake" podcast.
- Ludwig Bystronovsky's video story "Storm" about nervous breakdowns — I have a separate detailed note about it in my old blog with all the materials mentioned in the video.
- My selection of books about relationships.
- My selection of psychology channels.
- My selection of free wellness apps.
- Various psychology materials in my old blog.
Culture and Other
- Although the "It's a Fail" podcast is about various kinds of failures, including in business, and hasn't been updated in a long time, there's still plenty to dig through.
- "Pop-Culture Weapon" podcast.
- "Dark Matter" podcast.
- Sonchy Rave's channel (Sofia Utochkina) and her Instagram.
- Polina Zabrodskaya's channel and Substack.
- Music: channels by Nikolay Redkin, Alexander Gorbachev, Oleg Sobolev.
I add events that interest me to my public Google Calendar — Professional Events.
In July 2025, I created a large selection of free Guided Projects on Coursera on product management, marketing, and business strategy.
In August 2026, I created a mini-selection of free courses on AI.
