It’s me

Lately, I’ve been getting more and more questions about my back, my progress, my education, and even my personal life. On average 100 emails per month ~15 concern this issue

At first I thought that people probably don’t want to use Google or Wikipedia/else, but then I got the idea that part of the audience just doesn’t use Google. With a high degree of probability, this is a type of user who was not born in the first wave of the Internet and for them the main resource is TikTok and Instagram.

For these and other reasons, I’ve compiled all of these sources (mostly in 3 languages) to answer questions and also tell a little more than 1 sentence about me. Undoubtedly, I could not collect all the references from all sources, as there were thousands of them for more than 15 years, but I chose only a small part of them. + Including those reference/opinions that criticize me. — is what it is.

I hope it’s effective, and if not, I think it’s time for me to make short videos.

Among other things, this description will help journalists, readers and others to use this short biography as a reference if you link to me or use my content.
