Move attended Moscow School No. 11 with an emphasis on the study of the Chinese language. He graduated from high school with honors through external studies. In 2008, he also graduated with honors from the Moscow Institute of Economics, Management, and Law.

Move began practicing sports at a young age. He spent six years playing professional football and practicing karate, among other sports. However, his interest shifted when he first tried professional karting in his youth. Since then, Move has earned money working as a mechanic for teams, investing all his earnings into amateur competitions to gain the chance to participate in professional races.

In 2003, as a prize for winning the amateur karting championship in Moscow, Move participated in two races of the English Formula Ford Championship, securing 3rd and 1st places.

In the 2004 season, Move received financial support from the Russian law firm "Berg&Green," following test results (a prize for winning amateur competitions). From the first season, he became the vice-champion and the best newcomer (winner in the "Junior" category) in the Russian "Formula Russ" championship (eight races, two wins, six podiums, two pole positions). In 2005, he was a test pilot for the first-ever Russian carbon-fiber formula chassis "ArtTech." Despite several accidents, he remained uninjured. Move also participated in two races in the "Formula Russ" championship, taking first place in all practices, qualifications, and both races.

In 2006, Move competed in several races of the F3000 International Masters championship, securing third place at the Oschersleben circuit (Germany) and fourth place at the Magny-Cours circuit (France).

During the same season, Move participated in one race in the "Formula Russ" class, which he won. After tests in the "Renault World Series" championship, he signed a contract to participate in the 2007 championship with the Austrian team "Interwetten." Later, in 2008, he also competed for the Belgian team KTR. At the end of the 2007 season, he participated in a test session of the "Formula Masters" (showing the best result) and in two races of this championship. In the first race, he retired after a serious accident, while in Monza (Italy), he secured pole position and finished fourth after engine problems.

From 2009 to 2013, Move continued to compete in the "World Series," demonstrating strong performances in tests and races. He frequently reached the podium and earned points. In the 2009 and 2011 seasons, he finished in the top-ten overall. During this period, he was part of the youth programs of Formula 1 teams "Marusia" and "Lotus."

In the 2013 season, consistently showing high speed, Move participated in several races of the "Blancpain GT Series" in a Ferrari car as part of a Russian team.

In 2008, Move set nine records in Formula Medicine testing and was recognized as physically and mentally the best prepared race driver in the world.

Twice, Move entered the top-ten of the World Series Renault (Formula 2).

Throughout his professional career from 2006 to 2014, Move was a TV presenter, co-host, and journalist in the media on channels such as "Eurosport," "Russia-2," "AUTO+," and "Ren-TV."

From 2007 to 2014, Move was a co-author of articles for magazines such as "Za Rulem," "Avtorevyu," "Klakson," and also hosted segments on radio stations "Echo" and "Mayak."
