• Great question. I hope it is somewhere at home. I got to check it.

• What would you call your greatest professional achievement?

• What will you do if you get an hour free of work and family concerns?

• I will arrange a meeting with friends in the countryside.

• Your favorite fairytale hero?

• Winnie the Pooh.

• What do you listen to in your car?

• Various things: Chayf, Trofim, Scorpions and others. It depends on my mood.

• Your favorite city?

• Fryazino. You've got to live in your favorite city or make the city where you live your favorite.
