ABOUT ME

For a living and for a feeling that I do something important in life, I translate fiction from English into Russian. For the pleasure of it, I play chess and travel.

I love music, mostly rock and classics. Books are precious to me, too. But I believe that the best way to discover life is meeting and communicating with people.
