My name is Nickolai Leschov, I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, originally. I chose the recent war as an invitation to raise my indignant disagreement with what my government said my long-suffering homeland should stand for (war, violence and religious obscurantism, apparently) and join the global community that I always felt a part of. Is it still illegal to call war a war there? I don't know or care. I lived in several countries since and hope to live in some more. I am interested in computers, human perception and cognition, and their intersection and impact. I am living with my girlfriend, Malvina Pushkova, who is a long-time transhumanist activist, a workaholic and transgender woman (LGBT person and activist, but not an LGBT activist). Some of it should not be that important, but it is part of the reason we left our home country, so it kinda is. I generally subscribe to ideas of transhumanism, a philosophical and intellectual movement which advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies that greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being; eliminating the undesirable aspects of human existence such as suffering, disease, aging and death. In my own words, transhumanism is humanism, radically enhanced.

Hey everyone! Weโ€™re Alexey and Elena. Originally from Moscow, but after a series of unfortunate events back home, we moved to sunny Kutaisi, Georgia. We discovered Couchsurfing back in Russia, and here in Georgia our passion for hospitality eventually turned into a full-time job. Today we run a backpacker-friendly hostel and camping space for hikers, adventurers, and travelers from all over the world. At first, we weren't sure if staying active in the Couchsurfing community would create a conflict of interest with our business. But we believe in win-win relationships, where people can help each other without losing anything. Over the years, some Couchsurfers have volunteered a bit around the hostel, one amazing guy helped us a lot with renovations (huge shoutout to you, bro!), others shared ideas, gave valuable feedback, helped promote us online, or simply left kind reviews and recommended us to friends. So we're always open to new ideas and collaborations. If you think you have something to contribute, let's talk! For Couchsurfers, we currently offer one free night in a shared dorm or a free tent spot in our campground. If you enjoy your stay and decide to stay longer, you're welcome to do so at a special discounted rate available only for Couchsurfers. We should mention that running a hostel keeps us pretty busy, so we can't always spend as much personal time with guests as we'd like. That said, if you're into board games, sharing a bottle of wine, swapping travel stories, or just hanging out for an hour or two in the evening, let us know โ€” we're always happy to connect! Basically, you can stay with us both as a Couchsurfer and as a regular hostel guest (depending on availability and with a few limitations mentioned above). Come visit us โ€” our doors are always open! P.S. If I don't reply here, chances are I simply haven't opened the app. Feel free to message us on Telegram: @thefriendshostel P.S.2 We actually sleep at night ๐Ÿ˜„ and there's nobody available to check guests in. We're open from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If you're arriving late due to an emergency or unusual circumstances, please let us know in advance! ะ’ัะตะผ ะฟั€ะธะฒะตั‚! ะœั‹ ะะปะตะบัะตะน ะธ ะ•ะปะตะฝะฐ ั€ะพะดะพะผ ะธะท ะœะพัะบะฒั‹ ะธ ะฟะพัะปะต ั‡ะตั€ะตะดั‹ ะฟะตั‡ะฐะปัŒะฝั‹ั… ัะพะฑั‹ั‚ะธะน ะฝะฐ ั€ะพะดะธะฝะต ะธะผะธะณั€ะธั€ะพะฒะฐะปะธ ะฒ ัะพะปะฝะตั‡ะฝัƒัŽ ะ“ั€ัƒะทะธัŽ ะฒ ะšัƒั‚ะฐะธัะธ. ะšะฐัƒั‡ัะตั€ั„ะธะฝะณะพะผ ะผั‹ ัƒะฒะปะตะบะปะธััŒ ะตั‰ั‘ ะฒ ะ ะพััะธะธ, ะฐ ะทะดะตััŒ ะฒ ะ“ั€ัƒะทะธะธ ะฝะฐัˆะต ั…ะพะฑะฑะธ ะณะพัั‚ะตะฟั€ะธะธะผะฝะพัั‚ะธ ะฟะตั€ะตั€ะพัะปะพ ะฒ ะฟั€ะพั„ะตััะธะพะฝะฐะปัŒะฝัƒัŽ ะดะตัั‚ะตะปัŒะฝะพัั‚ัŒ ะธ ะผั‹ ะพั‚ะบั€ั‹ะปะธ ะผะพะปะพะดะตะถะฝั‹ะน ั…ะพัั‚ะตะป-ะบะตะผะฟ ะดะปั ั…ะฐะนะบะตั€ะพะฒ ะธ ะฐะบั‚ะธะฒะฝั‹ั… ะฟัƒั‚ะตัˆะตัั‚ะฒะตะฝะฝะธะบะพะฒ, ะทะฐ ัั‡ั‘ั‚ ะบะพั‚ะพั€ะพะณะพ ะถะธะฒะตะผ ะธ ะฟั€ะพะดะพะปะถะฐะตะผ ะฟะพัั‚ะพัะฝะฝะพ ั€ะฐะทะฒะธะฒะฐั‚ัŒ ะฝะฐัˆ ะฑะธะทะฝะตั. ะกะฝะฐั‡ะฐะปะฐ ัƒ ะฝะฐั ะฑั‹ะปะธ ัะพะผะฝะตะฝะธั, ัั‚ะพะธั‚ ะปะธ ะฟั€ะพะดะพะปะถะฐั‚ัŒ ัƒั‡ะฐัั‚ะฒะพะฒะฐั‚ัŒ ะฒ ัะพะพะฑั‰ะตัั‚ะฒะต ะšะก, ะธ ะฝะต ัะพะทะดะฐะตั‚ ะปะธ ัั‚ะพ ะฝะฐะผ ะบะพะฝั„ะปะธะบั‚ ะธะฝั‚ะตั€ะตัะพะฒ, ะฝะพ ะผั‹ ะฒัะตะณะดะฐ ะฒะตั€ะธะผ ะฒ ะฟั€ะธะฝั†ะธะฟ win-win, ะณะดะต ะผะพะถะฝะพ ะฟะพะผะพั‡ัŒ ะดั€ัƒะณ ะดั€ัƒะณัƒ, ะฟั€ะธ ัั‚ะพะผ ะฝะธั‡ะตะณะพ ะฝะต ั‚ะตั€ัั. ะขะฐะบ, ั‡ะฐัั‚ัŒ ะฝะฐัˆะธั… ะณะพัั‚ะตะน ะฝะตะผะฝะพะณะพ ะฒะพะปะพะฝั‚ะตั€ะธะปะธ ัƒ ะฝะฐั, ะพะดะธะฝ ะฟะฐั€ะตะฝัŒ ะพั‡ะตะฝัŒ ะฟะพะผะพะณ ั ั€ะตะผะพะฝั‚ะพะผ (ะฟั€ะธะฒะตั‚ะธั‰ะต ั‚ะตะฑะต!), ั‡ะฐัั‚ัŒ ะฟะพะผะพะณะฐะปะธ ั ั€ะฐัะบั€ัƒั‚ะบะพะน ะฑั€ะตะฝะดะฐ, ะธะดะตัะผะธ ะดะปั ั…ะพัั‚ะตะปะฐ, ัะฑะพั€ะพะผ ะพะฑั€ะฐั‚ะฝะพะน ัะฒัะทะธ ะธะปะธ ะฟั€ะพัั‚ะพ ั…ะพั€ะพัˆะธะผะธ ัะปะพะฒะฐะผะธ ะฒ ะพั‚ะทั‹ะฒะฐั…, ะธ ัˆะฐั€ะธะปะธ ะฝะฐั ะฒ ัะฒะพะธั… ัะพั†ัะตั‚ัั…. ะ’ ะพะฑั‰ะตะผ ะผั‹ ะพั‚ะบั€ั‹ั‚ั‹ ะบ ะดะธะฐะปะพะณัƒ, ะตัะปะธ ะฒะฐะผ ะตัั‚ัŒ, ั‡ั‚ะพ ะฟั€ะตะดะปะพะถะธั‚ัŒ.) ะ’ ะฝะฐัั‚ะพัั‰ะธะน ะผะพะผะตะฝั‚ ะดะปั ะบะฐัƒั‡ัะตั€ั„ะตั€ะพะฒ ะผั‹ ะผะพะถะตะผ ะฟั€ะตะดะปะพะถะธั‚ัŒ ัะพะฒะตั€ัˆะตะฝะฝะพ ะฑะตัะฟะปะฐั‚ะฝะพ ะทะฐัะตะปะธั‚ัŒัั ะฝะฐ ะพะดะฝัƒ ะฝะพั‡ัŒ ะฒ ะพะฑั‰ะธะน ะฝะพะผะตั€ ะธะปะธ ะผะตัั‚ะพ ะฟะพะด ะฟะฐะปะฐั‚ะบัƒ ะฝะฐ ั‚ะตั€ั€ะธั‚ะพั€ะธะธ ะบัะผะฟะธะฝะณะฐ. ะ•ัะปะธ ะฒะฐะผ ะฟะพะฝั€ะฐะฒะธั‚ัั ัƒ ะฝะฐั ะธ ะฒั‹ ะฟะพะถะตะปะฐะตั‚ะต ะพัั‚ะฐั‚ัŒัั ะฝะฐ ะดะพะปัŒัˆะต, ัั‚ะพ ะฒะพะทะผะพะถะฝะพ ะฝะฐ ะพะฑั‰ะธั… ะพัะฝะพะฒะฐะฝะธัั…, ะฝะพ ัะพ ัะฟะตั†ะธะฐะปัŒะฝะพะน ัะบะธะดะบะพะน ั‚ะพะปัŒะบะพ ะดะปั ะฒะฐั. ะš ัะพะถะฐะปะตะฝะธัŽ ัƒ ะฝะฐั ัƒ ะฝะฐั ะฝะต ะฒัะตะณะดะฐ ะตัั‚ัŒ ะฒั€ะตะผั, ั‡ั‚ะพะฑั‹ ะดะพัั‚ะฐั‚ะพั‡ะฝะพ ะดะฐั‚ัŒ ะฒะฐะผ ะปะธั‡ะฝะพะณะพ ะฒะฝะธะผะฐะฝะธั. ะะพ ะตัะปะธ ะฒั‹ ะปัŽะฑะธั‚ะต ะฝะฐัั‚ะพะปัŒะฝั‹ะต ะธะณั€ั‹ ะฟะพะด ะฒะธะฝะพ, ะธะปะธ ะฟั€ะพัั‚ะพ ั€ะฐััะบะฐะทะฐั‚ัŒ ัะฒะพะธ ะธัั‚ะพั€ะธะธ ะฟั€ะธะบะปัŽั‡ะตะฝะธะน, ะธ ั…ะพั‚ะธั‚ะต "ะทะฐัั‚ะพะปะฑะธั‚ัŒ" ั‡ะฐั-ะดั€ัƒะณะพะน ะฒะตั‡ะตั€ะพะผ, ะพะฑัะทะฐั‚ะตะปัŒะฝะพ ะดะฐะนั‚ะต ะฝะฐะผ ะทะฝะฐั‚ัŒ โ€” ะผั‹ ะฒัะตะณะดะฐ ะทะฐ! ะ’ ะพะฑั‰ะตะผ, ะฒั‹ ะผะพะถะตั‚ะต ะฟะพะณะพัั‚ะธั‚ัŒ ัƒ ะฝะฐั ะธ ะบะฐะบ ะพะฑั‹ั‡ะฝั‹ะน ะบะปะธะตะฝั‚ ะธ ะบะฐะบ ะบะฐัƒั‡ัะตั€ั„ะตั€ (ะฝะพ ะฝะต ะฒัะตะณะดะฐ ะธ ั ะฝะตะบะพั‚ะพั€ั‹ะผะธ ะพะณั€ะฐะฝะธั‡ะตะฝะธัะผะธ, ะพ ั‡ะตะผ ะพะฟะธัะฐะฝะพ ะฒั‹ัˆะต). ะŸั€ะธะตะทะถะฐะนั‚ะต, ะฝะฐัˆะธ ะดะฒะตั€ะธ ะฒัะตะณะดะฐ ะดะปั ะฒะฐั ะพั‚ะบั€ั‹ั‚ั‹!
