I grown up in St. Petersburg, which is fascinating city. For starting my PhD in biology, I moved in Aachen, Germany and at the moment here I am really happy: I love what I am doing, I love traveling around and live in the heart of Europe, I enjoy increased possibility for meeting outstanding people and making new friends. However, I never stopped being interested in Russian culture, especially literature, history and art, so that I am always glad to talk and advertise my native city to people :) (When I am visiting my parents there, I also eager to show St. Petersburg in all its mysterious beauty)
