Music, Movies, and Books

Russian singers before 1960s (Sergei Lemeshev, Piotr Leshchenko, Ivan Zhadan, Georgyi Vinogradov, mostly tenors),

1930s-60s Jazz (Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, Django Reinhardt, Ella Fitzgerald, Art Tatum, Mills Brothers, Andrews Sisters, Dean Martin etc.)

60s-80s classic rock (Deep Purple, Slade, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd,)

90s-pre2010s hip-hop (Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Dr. Dre, Outcast, DMX, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Ludacris, T.I., Dilated People, Eminem, Delinquent Habitz, Mexicanz)

Some RnB and Pop like Ray Charles, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jem and soundtracks from my collection of movies.

Rarely like new songs, they aren't yet filtered with the Time and it's hard to muddle through heaps of trashy "music".

Have a collection of 1500 movies.

TV series I love the most are Breaking Bad, Black books, True detective and couple of 90s' series

Love soviet cartoons and movies (don't be a politically brainwashed person, look up some soviet time movies and cartoons - they are brilliant!).

Haven't read so many books, but most beloved are myths of different peoples, Russian classics, Venedict Erofeev, Sergey Dovlatov; scientific literature, geography/tourism study books. Love to expand English knowledge.

Like cartoons based on comics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm happy. Because of having a reason to live and goals to achieve!
If it's one amazing thing I've done.. I think it's scoring a basketball through the Yuri Dolgorukiy's monument in Moscow on TV.

Teach, Learn, Share
