Vyacheslav Matyuhin

Vyacheslav "Slava" Matyuhin is a Russian software engineer and community organizer known for founding Kocherga, a rationalist and effective altruism community hub in Moscow. He ran the Kocherga anti-cafe from 2015, building it into a venue hosting 40-50 rationality-adjacent events per month, including CFAR-style applied rationality workshops. He received a $50,000 Long-Term Future Fund grant in 2018-2019 to keep Kocherga operational; the hub achieved financial independence by 2020 and transitioned to online activities. He also built effectivealtruism.ru, coordinated translation of the EA handbook into Russian, and organized outreach events in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Around 2022, he joined the Quantified Uncertainty Research Institute (QURI) as a software engineer, contributing to Metaforecast (a forecasting aggregator) and the Squiggle probabilistic programming language.
