Well-well. Greetings to everyone from 'far' for the entire world, great and tremendous Russia and from its ancient capital Moscow! Let's cancel different witty jokes about balalaikas, matreshkas and bears on Russian streets (in the towns of Siberia you can meet that animals indeed, though), because the reality in here is much more interesting. Btw, quarter of my blood is Ukrainian, so I have a small part of my mind and a few relatives there.

I'm just a magnificent and amazing person.
If to be serious, I believe it's worth writing me first and talking to me. Then, eventually, you will have a chance to perceive me completely.

I enjoy communicating, so I'm not against talking to foreigners. And I have a favour to suggest you not to text me messages like "Hi! How are you? How was your day?" - it's ridiculous and meaningless. I'm very polite and patient, but I suppose that if you are going to ignore my request, I will tend no longer to answer messages like that.

If you accidentally decided to learn Russian, I can only sympathize with you and admire your bravery и конечно помочь в изучении моего языка, так что пишите мне - и вместе мы что-нибудь придумаем!

Music. Mostly, I prefer 'good-old-time' music. I suppose that nowadays, basically, prevailing music is lean and lacks soul and, you know, some majesty. It's a pity to me that since 60'-70' music has been deteriorated and, as it's said in a modern proverb, good musicians are either elderly or dead.

Singing. It's actually a part of my life - I would have gradually declined without it. And I can't imagine it without my guitar. You may appreciate some patterns of this hobby below. Will be thankful for your opinion about this stuff.

Dogs. I love these frank, honest and affectionate creatures. And as a matter of course, I have my own dog - an extremely vivid and unbelievably cute Jack Russell terrier named Lokki.

Football. FC Lokomotiv Moscow, a two-time champion of Russian Premier League, is my favorite ...and it mystically correlates with my dog's name. And yes, I enjoy not only watching, but playing football, too.

Tennis. I'm a mediocre tennis-player, but I do love watching it on TV, particularly Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

Communication. I cannot boast of having plenty of friends, but it doesn't bother me to treat myself as a happy person.

Auto. I enjoy driving our Skoda Yeti despite of damn horrible traffic in Moscow, changeable climate and huge quantity of insane drivers on the Russian roads.

Joking. Some people complain of high concentration of sarcasm in my style of speaking. But I believe that it has not to be offensive to them. It's just what it is. A smart person will always understand me and a fool's opinion doesn't trouble me.

Drinking beer. No, I'm not an alcoholic, as you could think looking at Russian flag next to my photo in this profile. But, I don't usually refuse to drink this foamy beverage, especially if my crew is gathered around me and we have some joint pastime such as watching football broadcasts or singing heartbreaking songs. My favorite brands are Blanche de Bruxelles, Guinness and Kronenbourg Blanc.

Movies. What can I say? You may see my favorite movies in a suitable field below. Some of them are Russian and I concern of why we don't make films like them as often as we might do. Hope our cinema is going to make a powerful jump into a great future.

Theater. I can consider myself as a theater-haunter. My favorite plays are "Cherry Orchard" by Chekhov and "Elder Son" by Vampilov.

Traveling. ''My heart's in the Highlands'', as Robert Burns wrote. Yes, I love Scotland and I'm looking forward to visiting that country another time. Besides, I've been to Croatia, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Estonia, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark, then to Cyprus and Lebanon and to other resort countries such as Turkey and Egypt.

I am fond of geography, psychology, conflictology (my current specialty). I use Internet almost incessantly - whatever one may say, it can help with everything and be very useful. Nevertheless, it wastes much time and it is often a big problem for conscientious people.
Btw, I'm a former horseman, but I have already retired.
