they say I don't look like typical Russian

In fact, I'm very quiet, but at the same time I like conversations about how people live across the world, what makes them different and what problems they have in common. Apart from politics and history, I'm interested in urban planning, transportation, etc. And if there's a chance to watch a good football match, why not? :)

Some people put inspirational quotes here. Mine is:
"My desire to get married lasted till breakfast, then it passed" (Nicholas II)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music, from jazz to hardcore punk. Definitely not a techno lover though.

Ernest Hemingway, Alejo Carpentier, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Charles Bukowski are among my favourite authors.

I consider Ken Loach to be one of the greatest contemporary directors. But I also like popular movies by Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorcese, Sergio Leone.
