I’m interested in a great number of different things, though I don’t have any hobby now. In my childhood I used to build radio controlled model planes and cartings, played music and chess, went swimming and skiing, even boxed. 

For some time I designed and made furniture by myself and did graphic design projects.  I still dream about building a country house with my own hands.  I’m really glad now that, after a long time, I have more opportunities for music again.  I even hope that now I will  be able to realize some modest musical ideas that I had continually put off.

From popular music I like  - Sting, Wonder, Benson, Mann, Parsons, Santana, Chik Corea, Collins and many other musicians. As for Russian music, I prefer sad melodical folk song.

Among films my favorites are old soviet comedies with specific Russian humor, or kind patriotic American movies and  especially those starring the charming Melanie Griffith.
