About Me

I'm really interested in new people meeting, sharing cultural experience, finding smth absolutely different, smth in common. I like visiting art-museums, concerts or just walking around and observing.
One of my greatest pleasures is nature. When I'm beside the trees, breath fresh smells and hear birds' singing, water floating, I can't stay indifferent.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really fond of classic music: Mahler, Sibelius, Puccini, Verdi, Wagner, Beethoven, Rachmaninov... But I don't deny pop and can go to the club and spend the great time.
With the movies its hard to identify since there are so much: Paolo Sorrentino (Youth, La grande bellezza), W. Allen (Irrational Man, Midnight in Paris, Manhattan murder mystery etc), Lars von Trier (Melancholia, Dancer in the dark, Nimphomaniac etc), P. Almodovar (Los abrazos rotos, Julieta, Volver), The Reader by S. Daldry, Haevnen by Susanne Bier, Les quatre cents coups by F. Truffaut, I. Bergman, A. Tarkovsky, R. W. Fassbinder
Books: To kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, Luzhin's Defence by V. Nabokov, Zauberberg by T. Mann and many, many others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've graduated as a social psychologist in 2013. I like to observe some scientific effects in people's lifes and I can share my knowledge. Also I'm a good company for Russian/European literature or music discussion.
And surely I can cook and teach (if desireble) favorite russian dishes.
