I was born to Russian parents in Kiev,Ukraine,then known as USSR. I consider myself to be extremely lucky,having been raised in the ex-Soviet Union and I spiritually feel myself Russian and I am proud of it.
I was given the best education my parents could afford -- graduated from the same University as my father -- Kiev State University,specializing in Radiophysics-Semiconductor Electronics.
I have done scientific-research work for military sector (developing the navigation and landing systems for the MI-8 helicopters) in at earliest stage, before I moved to the Northern part (White Sea,Arhangelsk) of the former USSR and started teaching Physics,Math and Thermodynamics to the Marine College students there.
Our life took a drastic turn for the worst when "perestroyka" started with Mikhail Gorbachev about 25 years ago.
Then,one thing led to another and before we could dry our eyes,the Great and Powerful Country broke apart--a bitter and complete separation! --literally saying between two Sundays!
Oh,all of you were on the "other side" whilst we were building our formidable beautiful machines and you were working on ways to get rid of them. Then, when My Motherland became history and that served as a prelude to the decision would not come out and play anymore, there were a lots of you that were very genuinely disappointed, as we were the only ones who met the challenge with the same passion and out of the box attitude...
oh,these memories! ah,those memories! well,well,the nostalgia-aside!-- It's just a nerve wracking situation... let´s see: we are ceased to exist,already...we have long mourned the humiliation of our Homeland. But we all in the same boat,currently...huh? Welcome to the Titanic!
