LatestAndrey is a professional negotiator. When people can't agree, he helps them to — for a lot of money. For each dispute, he changes himself beyond recognition. Andrey can convince anyone of anything, anytime and anywhere, but he seems to have a hard time accepting his own self.

But is it all worth it in the end? And what is the real cost of his abilities?

Burkovskiy reportedly shadowed real crisis negotiators and found them 'disturbingly like actors who'd forgotten their original accent.'
