I am a post-graduate student of Space Research Institute in Moscow. I enjoy to travel (including fully autonomous trails), to listen to music (including classical and avant-garde, including art-rock and jazz), to write the music (about a one song per two years). I'm loving science, and loving to develop, construct, create.

Currently (2016) I'm working hard on developing some instruments for lunar and martian landers. Sometimes it is necessary to make some rest, to clear my mind.

That's great to meet a lot of people from all over the world, to share with each other stories, experiences, culture.

Hiking, riding, traveling by train, listen to music, write the music. And digging. And rock climbing. And, of course, literature, poetry sometimes, movies,arts and other interesting stuff.

Musica, film e libri

Complicated and always moving on list. Let say King Crimson, Miles Davis, Tom Waits, Van der Graaf Generator, Taal, Vladymir Martynov, John Cage. Theese guyes more or less covers all of my tastes. The main rule in music for me: it must be interesting, various, ingenious.

Movies. Hmmm. Tideland (but all the people hate me for advising this movie :) ). The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover; Star Trek. And many other movies. Honestly, sometimes it's ok for some action movie. And sometimes I'd like to watch something much complicated.

A big list again. A decade ago I'd really love science fiction. Lem, Strugatsky brothers - they are one of my teachers. Now I have read with pleasure Kafka, Eco, Camus, Bulgakov, Borges, Nil Stivenson. But my must read list tells me there's a lot of interesting for me :)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I should mention of course my solo bike trip from Amsterdam to Luxemburg - and it was the first couchsurfing experience.

After this trip Alba and Herve from Belgium called their little son Ilia. And it's one of the amazingness things in my life!

Another one - Climbing with bike and baggage in my hands through the almost vertical rocks in Armenian mountains. With rain and hail. With bear footprints. And later I knew that I had a broken arm that moment. :)

However, trying to do amazing things all the time. And there are a couple of another one's in my baggage :)

Insegna, impara, condividi

I'm trying to learn something anytime (I'm a PG student, I have to :) ). But what can I teach someone? It's a good question. Probably I can try to tell you about how Universe works, but you may know it better then me :)

What else can engineer do? To fix something :)
