Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and it's so hard to say what books are my favourite. Russian classical literature is my passion. Turgenev, Bulgakov, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy. Also "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. I listen music of all genres which inspire me. As for films, my favourite ones are Leon, Intouchables, Pulp Fiction, Soviet films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Get the rooftop of Saint Petersburg while it was cold, rainy and slippery. Anyway, despite the fact it was a bit dangerous I got I wanted - the wonderful view!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you Russian or some Russian words if you want :) Or Turkish as far as I learn it for a long time.
