Tatiana Stupak is a Limassol-based mountaineer, philanthropist, classical musician, (pianist, organist, gusli player), writer and music teacher. After qualifying in Saint Petersburg as a piano teacher, piano soloist and accompanist, she emigrated to Limassol, Cyprus, in 2007.

Mountaineer

Tatiana Stupak is a Guinness World Record holder,[1] which she achieved by combining her skills as a musician with her ability to climb very high mountains.

Stupak’s first mountain summit climb was in 2019, to the highest mountain in geographical Europe, Mt Elbrus, one of the Seven Summits, in the Caucasus Mountains.[2] She played her keyboard at the summit,[3] and she received an award[4] at the Olympic Hall in Nicosia from the Cyprus Mountaineering and Orienteering Federation (KOMOAAP)[5] for reaching the summit.[6]

Her second Seven Summits climb was in 2020 to the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro,[7] where she played her gusli.[8] Global Woman Magazine published an article, reporting on her climbs of Elbrus and Kilimanjaro.[9]

Her third climb was in 2022, to the highest volcano in Asia Mount Damavand, where she again played her gusli at the summit.[10] She had TV interviews when back in Cyprus: with Sigma TV,[11][12] and ANT1 Cyprus.[13] The Cyprus newspapers Phileleftheros[14] and the Sunday edition of Cyprus Mail[15] reported her climb. Later, the In-Cyprus news website reported on her Damavand expedition.[16]

Stupak’s next Seven Summits mountain climb was in January 2023 on Mt Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside Asia, where she set a new Guinness world record for the Highest Altitude Concert on Land,[17] by playing her gusli at a height of 6,701m.[18] For climbing Aconcagua, she received a certificate[19] and a medal[20] from the 7 Summits Club.[21] Stupak was interviewed in Greek on Cyprus television stations: Sigma TV,[22] Alpha TV Cyprus,[23] ANT1 Cyprus TV,[24] and on Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation's RIK 1 Radio,[25] and on Russian Radio, Cyprus.[26] Newspaper reports were published in the English language Cyprus Mail,[27] in the Greek newspapers Phileleftheros,[28][29] and Ephimerida Lemesos.[30][31] The Russian Lifestyle magazine Stil Gizni, (issue 37(51)2023, p108)[32] printed a 1-page story with photos, and the English & Greek Dolce magazine, (Issue 2, summer 2023, pp36-39) published a report about Stupak's climb.[33] Stupak received an award[34] from the Mountaineering Climbing and Orienteering Federation of Cyprus, at the Olympic Hall in Nicosia for her ascents of Mts. Kilimanjaro, Damavand and Aconcagua, and for her Guinness World Record.[35] She wrote a book about breaking the Guinness World Record.[36]

Charity Concerts

Tatiana Stupak uses her music and mountaineering skills to raise money for worthy causes, and many of these have been reported in Cyprus newspapers.[37] In 2019 at the Presidential Palace, Nicosia, the then President of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, presented her with an award[38] for her charity concerts which raised money for The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics. She has received several awards from other beneficiary organisations for charity concerts.[39][40]
