He moved to Germany soon after, where he gained a doctorate in economics and went into the tobacco business. He now lives in Russia, where he is a member of the Academy of Sciences. After producing much work in the domain of economics, he began writing fiction in 2000. producing an acclaimed collection of short stories and two novels, of which Moi, his second, is the first to appear outside Russia.
