| Introduction | Hi. I am a freelance feature journalist and very much in love with my profession. Writing is my excuse to poke my nose into things I know little about, but have a lot of stamina to explore. I am a geek and love loosing myself in extensive research work. I was born in USSR and have a very diverse background with a mix of cultures, languages, religions and a healthy dose of atheism thrown in. This can sometimes make me incoherent, but it also serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration: from Caspian winds to Belinsky's view of Dostoyevsky's "Poor People" to what "continental" population thinks of two-taps system in British sinks. |
