Hi!

As a civil activist I had to leave my country after presidential elections in 2020. Since then, caught up in the wind of freedom and uncertainty, I opened my eyes on how big and various our world is and went in search of my new place in it.

I used to work as an assistant at Belarussian state university of Informatics and Radioelectronics, conducted laboratory classes in programming and other subjects. I worked as a Java developer. Then the time of my passions began: animal protection, civil and political activism.

Now my life turned abruptly, which made me look deeper into myself and wider at the world.

One of my favorite things to do is dance, laugh and experience pure joy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

– I raised the cat so that he could be a person. And he is. I also taught him to walk together.

– touched the giraffe's tongue!

– once on usual training in gym I ran 17km... not preparing to it. Just felt after an hour of running I still have powers and continued. Stopped after 2 hours feeling good but just because of fear that I don't know what is it)

– influenced on the whole animal protection community in Belarus

Teach, Learn, Share

In fact, I'm interested in just talking about everything. It is interesting to get acquainted with the world of another person. I am also curious about the history. It seems to hold the keys to what is happening to us today. So I am ready to speculate on the past with interest and especially to learn about local history.

Also I'm always excited to meet people from absolutely another world, profession, sphere of interests and listen to their thoughts, stories from life, world view.
