Atlanta office Executive Staff

Alex Khodorkovsky
President

Alex was born in Kyev, Ukraine. He came to the USA in 1991 and made Atlanta his new home. His education in Public Relations and Communications has helped him make Go To Russia a truly international company. When not spending 14-hour days at the office, Alex likes to travel to Brazil, Russia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and other great places.

Dimitri is originally from St. Petersburg, Russia. He holds degrees in Business Administration and Marketing he makes sure our offices are run smoothly and efficiently. He helped start the Atlanta office and is our most senior executive staff member. Few things can break Dimitri's concentration and he can rarely be seen without a smile on his face.

Barbara Barros
Ticketing Manager

Barbara, originally from Brazil, has been in the travel industry for 8 years. She is very quiet and sweet in the office, and a party animal when she is not here (we wish it was the other way around).

Austa Nakutyte
Travel Agent

Austa works in our ticketing department and helps our customers to get their airline tickets. She has a degree in Business Administration and speaks fluent Russian and Lithuanian.

Anna Shevaldina
Apartment Manager

Anna is our Atlanta coordinator supervising apartment rental department. She is a graduate of the Novgorod State University in Novgorod, Russia with a degree in International Management.

Oksana Gorobets
Visa Processing Manager

Oksana, a native of St. Petersburg, was an aspiring model when she met her Russian-American husband and moved to join him in Atlanta. St. Petersburg’s loss – our gain. Oksana sweet-talks our visa clients on the phone, explaining same thing 200 times a day with a smile on her face.

Ieva Smith
Visa Department Manager

Asked about her title here, at Go To Russia, Ieva says she’s a ‘visa conveyer’. Well, she does process miles of visa applications every week and answers about 100 visa calls daily. We picked Ieva up at one of the busy Atlanta restaurants, where she was working as a waitress, and served extremely stiff drinks. Ieva is originally from Vilnius, Lithuania, although with her new American last name, her Lithuanian friends sometimes start questioning that.
