I was born in the small town of Izyum, where mulberry trees still grow on its narrow and quiet streets, and the aroma of ripening apples tickles the nostrils. In 1985, I graduated from the Tolyatti Polytechnic Institute and started working at VAZ. I began writing in 1997 after some almost incredible events. I’ll probably keep quiet about the events; however, an attentive reader will understand everything anyway. I’ve beenwriting ever since.
