Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of British music band Enter Shikari, and they taught me to love all the spectrum of music, without useless genre boundaries. Thanks to them I'm opened to any kind of music, I can listen to almost anything, from 80-s pop to deathcore. Some of my other favourite bands are Veil Of Light, Whitechapel, Silent Descent, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Parov Stelar, Gesaffelstein, and lots of others.
The same applies to other forms of art. I love watching all sorts of movies, but lately I have mostly been into arthouse. I love films by Lynch, Jarmush, von Trier, Villeneuve, Dolan.
My favourite books include 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I really love riding a bicycle, and once I've cycled around the lake of Balaton about 220 km in 5 days. This trip was my dream come true, and I'm proud that I managed to do this.
- My other achievement is winning the English language olympiad between technical universities in Russia twice.
- I also watched every episode of Doctor Who, both old series and new, 36 seasons, I'm definitely a fan of the show!
