I'm an open minded progressive human being with strong opinions about many things, yet capable of listening and understanding. You can argue with me viciously, but in the end we still will be friends. I'd like to meet new people from different countries, to communicate and visit.

I'm a historian and geek, so I'm just a little bit insane, Aren't we all? ;)
A B S O L U T E L Y LGBTQ Friendly, by the way.
And yes, I'm Russian. Say no to stereotypes!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've danced completely alone in the sunset on the coast of the gulf of Finland during the White Nights to a beautiful opera by Jean-Baptiste Lully.
