RIGGER · ORGANIZER

Moscow rigger, teacher, performer, writer and Shibaru organizer. RopeFest Peterburg 2026 says Yakov began his broader kink path in 2007, entered shibari in 2018, worked at Kinky Party, Kinky Soft, NZM, RedClub, WPP and other events, became a RopeDay / SON resident, performs shibari numbers and art performances, teaches master classes, and joined Shibaru as an organizer in summer 2023. A separate RopeFest 2026 listing gives him a lecture / partial-demonstration master class on functional one- and two-rope bondage. His 2023 Telegraph article under the KINKKNIGHT name was published as part of the Shibaru project and includes RopeDayMoscow action context, while a Wonderful People post places him in a Moscow rope-practice lineup with Nikita Ropekit, Nick Freerider, Zevsa and Alex Hitch.
