Представляем Вашему вниманию Светлана Меньщикова —Заместитель директора Департамента социального проектирования и кризисной интервенции РОО «Интернациональный Союз Женщин». Светлана Меньщикова пришла в психологию из совершенно другой профессиональной реальности. До психологии у неё было две профессии — страновед и экономист, ни одна из которых не имела отношения к чувствам.

Разобраться, что с этим делать, её заставила собственная жизнь. Когда сыну исполнилось два года, Светлана развелась. Почти сразу начался тяжёлый период в родительской семье — там ушло столько сил, что на себя уже не оставалось. Карьера стояла на месте, доход не рос, а тело начало сдавать: болезнь за болезнью без явной причины, а потом появилось и…

Ekaterina Florenskaya is a family psychologist, psychosomatic counselor, member of the "International Women's Union". She works in an integrative approach, combining classical counseling, systemic family therapy, emotionally focused and emotionally imaginative therapy, the PSY 2.0 method and bodywork. From engineer to psychologist Ekaterina's path to psychology began long before graduation. Even as a teenager, she noticed a trait that she calls her main professional feature today: it's easy for people to trust her. Friends shared the most intimate things — how to build relationships, how to survive the first love, how to figure yourself out. Ekaterina was able to listen in such a way that a person felt it was safe to tell the truth here. Then she seriously considered going to study psychology. But life turned out differently —…

Your expert — Yulia Kosareva, General Director of Auditoriya LLC, auditor Since July 4, 2026, changes have come into force that many business leaders have welcomed with relief. Federal Law No. 220‑FZ of July 4, 2026, repealed Article 15.5 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. That article had provided for a warning or an administrative fine for officials for violating the deadlines for submitting tax returns and calculations, including the calculation of insurance contributions submitted to the tax authorities.
