Nikolay Ignatiev studied at Corvinus University in Budapest before launching an international career in IT innovation and global business leadership in the United States and Canada.
His debut novel, Blood and Caviar, became a #1 Bestseller in Russian Historical Fiction, drawing readers into the brutal, fragile world of post-Soviet Russia. The novel blends political intrigue, psychological depth, and historical authenticity—establishing Ignatiev as a sharp new voice in international thriller fiction.
Drawing on decades of experience across borders, cultures, and political systems, he writes stories about the collapse of empires, the price of power, and the human choices made in the shadows where systems break. Ignatiev divides his time between writing, consulting, and mapping the volatile intersections of politics, technology, and global security.
