People I’ve Worked With

leonid volkov

Russian politician, the chairman of the Anti-Corruption Foundation⬈ until 2023

Andrei is one of the most reliable and meticulous people I know. He edited our documentaries under tough deadlines and always delivered — not just on time, but with outstanding quality. A true perfectionist. We fully trusted him with high-stakes videos — and he never let us down

ekaterina jerusalimskaja

Belarusian journalist, host on the malanka media⬈ channel

Andrey Trusov worked with the YouTube channel Malanka Media for over a year, and it was a truly smooth and productive collaboration. Throughout that time, I never had to worry about the content — the editing Andrey handled was always top-notch: fast, high-quality, and creatively executed. What stood out most was his refusal to rely on templates — he consistently aimed to make each project unique. Highly recommended!
