Education and early journalistic career

edit

Malashenko has a master's degree in journalism from Lomonosov Moscow State University, which she received in 2011. While still a student at MSU, she reported for Expert TV,[1] RBC TV[2] and Kommersant FM.[3] In 2013, she became a news correspondent and host of TV Rain news show, Here and Now. Through the early years of her journalistic career, Uliana faced a lot of pressure from government authorities while covering high-profile political stories. As a result, she was subjected to house visits[citation needed] by local police forces. At another point, while on assignment for Kommersant FM, she was covering the environmentalist protests in Khimki forest. Together with other journalists, she was assaulted[4] by Russian law enforcement agents, resulting in a brain concussion and hospitalization. These and other events[5] ultimately contributed to her decision to relocate and continue her journalistic career in the United States.

In the fall of 2021, Uliana Malashenko graduated from Columbia Journalism School where she specialized in developing beat-specific expertise in national politics, U.S. elections and investigative journalism. Since March 2022, she has been working as a misinformation reporter for Lead Stories, a US-based media company specializing in identifying and debunking false claims on social media.
