Journalist: Tell us, please, about yourself and your creative activity/work?
Elena Stenkina [ES]: I was born in 1989 in Solovievsk. It’s a small village in the Russian Far East – most likely, you will not find it on Google Maps. At times, even I am surprised that I have come such a long way from this little-known rural place! I currently enjoy living in Philadelphia, PA, and working as a professional musician at the biggest accordion shop in the world – Liberty Bellows.
