Happy Birthday to the one, the only, the Liana 🤩

Before our fellows even land in Russia, they already know her name. Whispers in WhatsApp chats, legends in old application threads: there’s someone called Liana. And not just any Liana — the Liana.

The one who shows up at the airport at 3 a.m. with a smile and a power bank. Who will sit with you at the clinic, track down your suitcase from another continent, and somehow — somehow — find the exact Russian souvenir your mom mentioned once on the phone.

She’s fire and ice. A warm Helllooooo guuuuys! (read with an American accent) when the week begins, and the no-nonsense general when it’s deadline time. She’ll laugh with you over dinner, then lead the morning briefing like a general. That balance? That magic? That’s Liana.

Liana, thank you for being our guardian, our guide, and our never-failing source of light and drive. May your year be just like you — bold, beautiful, full of sparks, and unforgettable 🤩
