I’m Chris Helmbrecht – a marketing expert, author, party creator, and adventurer. Over the years, I’ve lived six unforgettable years in New York, a year on the sunny island of Tenerife, and nineteen years in Europe’s most thrilling city, Moscow.
For more than 30 years, I’ve been sharing stories through writing. My early days were filled with interviews featuring iconic bands like the Beastie Boys, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, and many others. I also chronicled my adventures as a professional snowboarder in Germany’s top snowboarding magazines.
I’m a keen observer, diving headfirst into risky, exhilarating adventures and reaping fascinating stories as rewards. These true experiences fuel the content of my blogs and have even found their way into my published work.
As a contributor to Stern.de and the magazine Stern, I’ve brought readers closer to my unique perspective. These days, I continue writing for clients, crafting compelling blog posts, and creating concepts for TV documentaries. Recently, my storytelling has extended into filmmaking, where I’ve been involved in various productions.
In 2013, my book “Fucking Moskau!” was published in Germany by Heyne Verlag/Randomhouse. It’s a bold, no-holds-barred journey into the world of unbridled luxury, unrestrained indulgence, and the breathtaking contrasts of Moscow – a city of both frozen extremes and fiery encounters.
Moscow is a city that dazzles with its contradictions. I’ve encountered staggering wealth and a relentless hunger for life and pleasure. In “Fucking Moskau!” I share stories of vodka-soaked nights, outrageous oligarch parties, and the insatiable thirst for money and hedonism that defines this vibrant metropolis.
This book offers a raw, unfiltered look behind the scenes of Moscow’s glamorous yet chaotic lifestyle. It’s a world where the lines between luxury and desire blur, where nothing seems out of reach, and where life pulsates at a relentless pace.
“Fucking Moskau!” isn’t just a book; it’s an invitation. Step into Moscow’s glittering chaos, where the nights stretch on forever, the parties are extravagant, and the stories are unforgettable. It’s an insider’s glimpse into a city that truly never sleeps, offering you an up-close experience of its magnetic allure.
So, dive in. Immerse yourself in the stories of unfiltered indulgence, breathtaking contrasts, and a city that’s equal parts thrill and enigma.
Enjoy the ride, and happy reading!
