I feel renewed, I want to move on
I was confused for many years, but now my dissolved identities started to reunite again.
I've been sitting in the center of a Moscow for 5 years as a rat in a cage,
and now freedom is by the door.
hello world

i'm still a math and cultural studies tutor and i also take part in some performance art projects in moscow

I've been registered here for ~10 years, and it's noticeable how my perception/description of myself changes over time. So I decided not to delete my previous "about me" representations but leave them as a document of shifting identity.

occupation = occupier/communipster
CURRENT MISSION = Occupiers of the world, unite!

i'm not a couch-, i'm a life-surfer
i find myself not only in a different states of land, but also in a different states of body and mind.

in the attempts at understanding of this evidence
some have called it religion
this is not a coincidence

We are trying hard now in Moscow to build a better community, using all possible contemporary political practicies. We do occupy our streets, as there is no public sphere. We feel ourselves comfortable only within our homes: the space in-between belongs to no-one, and government feels free to do whatever it wants. We are changing this state of things. We are coming to the streets to be there, to share experience, to educate and to create. That's our political job.

PHILOSOPHY

2008-2010///
it's obvious one has to be positive
but what if it is not possible?
what if i perceive this world too existentially and at the same time too postmodern?
i'm completely lost into it.

you really want philosophy? then it's Kierkegaard:
"What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die."

i do not know

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think CS is more or less leftist project. It's about building a sharing and open community of people who trust each other and who always share their life experience. Isn't it an embodiment of communistic dreams? Isn't it a big step towards a new world, based on trust, self-development and co-operation? I believe it is.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i overcame leukemia

Teach, Learn, Share

There are three things one has to learn.
First thing is one's limiteness. It it knowledge of how to be open-minded and ready to perceive any new experience, even if the last contradicts everything one has learnt before. It is ability to exceed all the bounds.
Second thing is one's finiteness. It is knowledge of how face one's own mortality and the transiency of all existing things. All things in this phenomenal world are finite and there are no exceptions. One can't take everything and be everyone. One can't visit every place; one can't even enter the same river twice.
The third thing is the Singularity. It is what happens when finiteness learns its borderlessness and infinity learns its end.

There are also three great sciences, or arts, to be taught.
Their names are:
The art of cognition and understanding the world.
The art of love.
The art of dying.

Only by learning how to die we learn how to live.
