Hello! :)
As one great once said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I truly believe in this expression and try to follow it :)
As a child, I lived in a small town with beautiful nature around; in my student years I moved to Kaliningrad, which is situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and now I live in beautiful St. Petersburg. It has affected my perception of the world: wherever you are, you can find your inner peace and inspiration. Maybe because of this i so adore fine arts :)

Now I work as a video producer and director in advertising.
But my hobby is still making short films about my travels, about culture and youths' lives. I have a channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1OHGpKumPOrnUtoOKSjeEw?view_as=subscriber). I consider my life's mission is to show the world how magical and spectacular it is, and my big dream is to make a movie about Russia someday, want to show this country without stereotype opinion, because our traditions and culture are breathtaking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't imagine my life without music :) I'm crazy about indie, my favorite bands are Alt-j, Hippie Sabotage, Jungle, Twenty one Pilots, Gorillaz and many others...
I'm into classical Russian authors as Turgenev, Chehov and Tolstoy, also love Dovlatov's narratives. Speaking about foreign literature,- I prefer modern authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At my 15 I got on a plane alone and flew to a fashion show in Paris... it was a magical and quite amusing experience ( can tell you about it more :) )

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a lot about Russian fine arts, also love Impressionists.
Russia is a country with a unique and interesting history, beautiful nature, here lived lots of inspiring people and I can share a piece of the Russian soul with you :)

We can also make a little video together to remember if you want :) or I just can take some beautiful photos of you in front of amazing views
