Occupation writer, journalist
Location London, United Kingdom
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.
Interests Writing, history, anthropology, literature, philosophy
Favorite Movies Withnail & I, most of Fellini's films and anything with Colin Firth in it.
Favorite Music the fratellis, the white stripes, the smiths, the strokes! Guitar Rock, Rachmaninov's Vocalise, Chopin, Bach, fusion of Mugham and jazz.
Favorite Books "The Idiot", " Poor People", Esenin's poetry, "Bell Jar", "White Teeth", Chekhov, Soljenitsin.
