Hey yo bro, my name is Pauline, Can you call me Banka ;) Well, I'm from Russia and I love making different interesting things. I got bachelor's degree in Chelyabinsk State Pedagogical University and I'm teacher of History but I work barista in small and cozy espresso-bar. Between this I adore making photos for 6 years and take actor courses for 5 years in my student's theatre.
I prefer spending time with my friends in travelling or skating or chilling or making arts Hah as you see I just like making everything with my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to rereading such authors as Patti Smith "Just kids", Curt Vonnegut "Deadeye dick" and other his stories (f. ex. "2b0n2b"), the series of books of Anatoly Mariengof, stories of Ray Douglas Bradbury, Jerome David Salinger, Daniel Keyes, Stephen Daldry and his roman " Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". Besides it I adore reading history of Pirate radiostations from UK, history of 1960 in Europe and students protests.
What about music, well.. I like russian underground hip-hop and abstract hip-hop, also I like indie and punk-rock music bands mostly from Russia. That's why I sure you haven't heard them but I can show you bands I love while meeting 😌.
