ABOUT ME

- I am Historian student from Moscow but I am Kazakh. My parents moved to Russia in 1987 and I was born here. I have very big family so I always have an interesting theme for conversation.

- I seem to be very calm person (and it is actually hard to make me angry) but I like to do strange and unusual things.

- I love cinematography very much and have experience in shooting short films and editing videos. Moreover, I teach pupils this subject - study groups History of cinema and Cinemaclub - in two schools.

- I love theatre and have studied for some time in Theatrical studio: played Arlekin, Kochkarev and some roles in plays of modern authors.
- Also took a participation in New Year's performances for children in "All-Russian Exhibition Centre" and worked as a Sunday entertainer for children in cafe.
- Have acted in advertisement "Beeline: 3G-modem": this ad was transmitted only in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kirgizia.

- I love History and all Humanitarian sciences - I love find out something that is not banal or boring.

- Three things which I hate more than everything in this world: hopes which haven't come true, confused farewells and boiled condensed milk.

- I love green apples very much.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a chain of aims and tasks which are necessary to execute, life is a great miracle which happens with you every day and every second. Happiness is in process, although result is important too. Life is worth living, not running without enjoying the world around.

Music, Movies, and Books

When I was little boy relatives who come to our home always were surprised how quiet and calm were children in their rooms. Reading books - that was the secret. So, it is one of my favourite pastime now too.

Jonathan Safran Foer "Everything is illuminated", "Extremely loud and incredibly close"
Jules Vern "The mysterious island" (having read for fifteen or twenty times)
J.K. Rowling "Harry Potter" - all parts (the book of my childhood)
William Golding "The lord of the flies"

***

I can't make a list of my favourite movies but I can name those of them which were beloved when I was a child.

"Lion King" (watched 20-30 times),
"Back to the future: Trilogy" (7-10 times every part),
"101 dalmatines" (8 times),
"E.T." (10-15 times),
"Indiana Jones Trilogy" (8-10 times every part),
"Star Wars" (7-10 times every part).

Also, I love romantic comedies and movies with the participation of Philippe Seymour Hoffman.
