Collective consciousness is controlled not by the one who builds barricades for the gray masses, but by the one who sets chessboards before outstanding individuals.

Biography
If I had to describe myself in one phrase, it would be the English expression “I wear many hats.” My experience, like my pool of interests, is very hard to fit into a single paragraph. I'm interested in everything our world is made of: from civil and military aviation, electronic music, to strategic and security studies.
