Me and my family (wife and 3 daughters) are now living in a countryside, 20 km west of Ulyanovsk city. Come and enjoy!

We have a half acre of land suitable for landmowing and barbeque or winter activities, like snow shovelling. Our house is fully equipped: we have a nice kitchen, big TV with PS4 and many games, fast Wi-Fi, WC and bathroom.

I am positive and open to new things, cultures, ideas and people. I wrote two travel-guides: "Iran unforgettable" and "Iraq in Real" (published in the Russian language). My Vkontakte page: http://vk.com/sanyok_k

My original hometown is in Orsha, Belarus. I graduated from university in Minsk and then moved to Moscow, where I made my first career steps and met my wife.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love Disco: Kano, Ottawan, La Bouche, Haddaway.
Rock: Beatles, E.L.O., T.Rex.
Blues music used to be my favourite as I played the harmonica in a blues band.

I like cartoon movies: Up! Kungfu-panda, WALL-E, Toy story 1, 2, 3.

Prefer to listen to audiobooks. I listened to almost all the classic books recommended at school (though I listened to them when I was about 30 years old, not at the time I was in school) and I think that I like funny books more, for example, feuilletons and books written by Ilf and Petrov, e.g. "12 chairs" while my favorite satirical book is "The Blue Book" by Zoshchenko.

Now I am doing archery (classic olympic recurve bow)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paraglider pilot.
Ice-hole swimming.
Publishing a book.
Giving a concert with a blues band in a concert hall "Minsk" for 1300 guests.
Staying in Iraq prison during my travel.
