Eternal student, mired in the study of Slavic languages and culture. I will not rest until I learn them all. And Greek. And Italian at the same time. And so - I try to be fun and cheerful and catch everything from life.
Member of the long and fun quest "Life in Russia". The main love, which selects all my free (and non-free too) time, is old-timers. In possession - the Soviet classics: 69' GAZ-21 "Volga" and 81' VAZ-2103 (Lada 1500) "Zhiguli". And I'm eager to meet cool people with pleasure, of course:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on the craziest journey of my life. I need to drive with a companion by Lada (and she is almost 40 years old) where her history began - at the FIAT factory in Turin, Italy (Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tour.de.lada/) . And I wanna make this trip so unforgettable, so that I can talk about it for days to children and grandchildren. And for this I need cool stories. And cool stories are made by cool people. I want to meet them on the way.

Therefore, if you want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about Russia, other post-Soviet countries, the Balkans and not only and at the same time to see and feel what a car "Made in the USSR" is - write me :)

And in the end, if you ever come to Moscow, I will be happy to show it to you. And believe me, you will not find such Moscow in any guidebook.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up on old school rock and only recently began to perceive other music. Collected 300 vinyl records.
I can talk for hours about art house, especially its manifestations in the cinema of Eastern Bloc (my master's work is devoted to the "black wave" in the Yugoslav cinematography).
And I can also recite Pushkin by heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling by 40 y. o. car from Moscow to Warsaw in winter. After that I realized that everything is possible.
