ABOUT ME

My passion is to explore everything unusual and to be out of the comfort zone as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

As it was well put by Franklin: "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I am a human rights activist in Russia and my main goal is to fight torture in Russian police and prisons. This is my interest and my day job.

Another thing that captured my mind some time ago is transitional justice. It is the process of dealing with the past in countries recovering from civil wars or dictatorships.

Other than that I am trying to keep myself occupied with harmonica and crossfit trainings.
