About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now living in Moscow, studying at the Russian State University for the Humanities and working hard at the Russian Research and Educational Holocaust Center...

ABOUT ME

The thing I like most is my vocation - I'm historian and do love my profession. I am at the interesting life period now, when all the roads seems to be opened :) I appreciate know and do as much as I want and can. And believe dreams HAVE TO come true!

Prefer answering the questions ==> sometimes it's more interesting to create questions, rather then to get answers ;)

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to try rather than regret later.
Love it or leave it.
Everything happening to you during your life is only your responsibility.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: depends on mood. Sometimes just something to amuse, sometimes to think deeply. I can't stand horror and violence.

Favorite artist is Gregory Lemarchal. I like French musicals and popular musicians like Joe Dassin, Michel Sardou, Lara Fabian, Celine Dion, Helene Segara and etc. I also like some alternative rock bands like Linkin Park, the Rasmus, 30 seconds to mars and others.

Books: mostly I read on my research topic, but also love classical fiction all over the world. I love poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Participated in archaeological expeditions twice
- Been on the concert of Linkin Park in St. Petersburg in 2009, which was called one of the best for the whole history of the band!
- Making fateful life decision in Paris at night cafe... :)
- reporting in the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris
- Visited both shores of the Atlantic ocean, it's amazing!
- Making some old dreams come true
- to be continued... It's better to tell with a glass of good wine... :)
