I and my husband, Gennady, are a couple of researchers, computing biologists, graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University, working now in husband's little homeland, Chelyabinsk Oblast, in South Ural State University.

We like travelling, hiking and bicycle riding, we have traveled a lot around our vast country, and now are going to travel around the world :)
