CURRENT MISSION Laugh, love, live and learn sharing my life with my beautiful wife ABOUT ME While being born in 1991, I still can say that I'm older than my country, as the USSR crashed several months after my b-day. My life has kindly brought (and continues to bring) different sorts of experiences for me, especially on the side of knowing a variety of very intelligent and creative people, thanks to my wonderful parents, to my education path and to my personal interests. I'm happy and blessed to be with my wife Stella. At the current stage, my main area of participation is an emerging research incentive at the University of St Andrews which is lying in-between the worlds of computer-based data analysis and various types of social research (audience research, investigative journalism, etc.) In 2013 I have started doing my PhD in that field and am super-excited about that! In the last years in Moscow, I was very dedicated to my local rock band Hidden Palace. We've gone done several demo recordings and I'm quite proud of some stuff we created! PHILOSOPHY Basically, I could not agree more than with the following quote: "Be patient and kind to yourself. Listen to the world around you and absorb it all. Life is here to teach us and open our hearts even wider than we know" (c) Paul Masvidal
