Hey! What's up world?

Today my wife Nastya and I are students of Vienna University. We have already tried to get a higher education in Russia, but because of doubts about the quoting of Russian universities, we decided to solve the problem and went to Moscow for a few years to earn money for the move. We are passionate fans of traveling to non-trivial places. We are admired by the hospitality of the peoples of the Caucasus and the Balkans, the spirit of shamanism on Lake Baikal and the hopelessness of the Russian hinterland.

Important information: when we send a request for the night, we tried to demonstrate interest in the host as much as possible, so I demand the same from you. We want you to read this little preface so we are waiting for the word 'Kinel' in your request, this is a small town in the European part of Russia, where one of us was born and raised.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to convey to you a piece of the many-sided culture of Russia and try to understand how the world works.

Interests

We both work as chess teachers. This is not only a way to make money, it is an opportunity to contribute to the development of mankind because once you learn to play chess, you will start thinking critically, you will be able to predict and your memory will be like a huge database.

Music, Movies, and Books

We like completely different bands, as most wanderers usually write here. In the past few years, when we saw the light, we became interested in domestic music. We respect rock in general, but we're ready to listen to Russian rock classics every day. For example, our favorite performers are impressed by DDT, Kino, Bi-2, Bravo, The Chizh and Co., Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Aquarium. We also note that we like Ukrainian music, most of all Ocean Elzy and Skriabin. In general, we are supporters of the idea that before you study foreign culture and music including, you should be free to understand your own.

Of the writers, we most of all respect Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Vladimir Nabokov.

The best director in our opinion is Alexei Balabanov.
