It is difficult to describe myself, but I am a person who believes that all people are different and prefers not to criticize anyone but to find points of possible joint activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer to listen Russian bards (not all), but listen to other styles (Rock, Pop, etc.), ie, fairly omnivorous, if only this music fits the mood. As to the movies, we have ceased to turn on the TV (because of advertising), and watch movies from the Internet, the daughter sometimes goes to the cinema. I prefer historical films or psychological thrillers. I read different books, and also the magazine "Around the World" and the newspaper that come through subscription.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Except for my dissertation, I somehow translated an old popular Russian song in English, though my English was not so good then.

Teach, Learn, Share

Still being a student, I realized that learning something new is more interesting and enjoyable from each other. Despite I am a teacher, I like not only to teach smb, and listen carefully, ie communicate on different topics.
