I am a phd student in Paris, originally coming from Donbass, Ukraine. I am into literature. My favourite living writer is Irish. His name is Desmond Hogan. Although my native language is Russian, and I master French best, I tend to write fiction and poetry in English.

Since the beginning of war, I host my grandparents at mine in Paris. This seems for good as they have no place to go back to. We are happy living altogether. My Spanish boyfriend, my grandparents and I.

I am very involved into helping Ukrainian refugees from my town. Dmitry is one of them. We have planned a trip together to Ireland. And we are looking for hosts !
