I live in Moscow, learn history in Russian State University for Humanities and work at the NGO "Memorial International", specializing in soviet studies. I am also study German, play piano (my favorite composers are Bach, Beethoven, Maler, Ravel and Shostakovich), walk around the Moscow city center

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always work out very compex routes, that is why I never know, where I will appear next day

Interests

I like walking around the city with classic/jazz music in my hearphones, making my travelling planns, visiting off the beaten track parts of the world and exploring different maps. I am good in playing piano and I also have a dream to master the clarinet.
Among this I am engaged in humanities. Last year I attended antropoly cource and I am fall in love with this subject.
In Moscow I attend public lectures and modern russian poetry readings (Lev Rubinstein, Timur Kibirov and others).
I have a lot of interests, hobbies and passions. Perhaps, I forget to write about one more thing
