I was born in 1983 in a small town on the Don in the family of an officer. I spent my childhood in the city of Rostov, where my family moved to, when I was five. When I was 7 years old I went to school. When I was in senior classes I took a special liking to history. I also liked English. I did well at school, my mark in many subjects was a “five”.

When I was in the eleventh form I made up my mind to enter University and become a lawyer. My grandfather was an officer. He was a participant of the Great Patriotic War. He took part in many battles, was badly wounded but remained in the ranks of the Soviet Army till the end of the war. He covered a long and glorious path from Stalingrad to Berlin.
