Adrian Yefremov
Maître en Droit

Hello, My name is Adrian Yefremov, i'm 21 years old and i'm a Master 2 student in European Business Law in Nice. I know about the existence of this blog thanks to my friend and former Moot colleague Tim Hagemann, who recommended me this network as a place of exchange of ideas on diverse political social and economical issues. I speak four languages (french english polish and russian), and my main interests are law and economics, which i have practiced since high school. I am used to an environnement of ideas and debate, as i have been part of political associations as well as MENSA. I hope that you will accept me, as my knowledge of EU Law and Economics might be of some need in those times of political doubt and controversy surrounding Europe. However, even if i stand for Europe, i am well read in it's most frequent criticizms so i believe i can deliver an objective well written view about it's current state.  Adrian Yefremov
