1.   I was born in USSR in 1977.

2.   I studied history at university and still think that it is one of the most interesting subjects, and it's a shame, that Israeli Ministry of education does not think so.

3.   I want to study literature - if I find money and energy for it, and, maybe, astronomy.

4.   I love children, probably because they always bring something new to my everyday life. For example while preparing my lesson two weeks ago, I found out, who Kurt Korbein was. I don’t know how I managed to miss it when I was younger.

5.   I love books.

6.   I have been working as a journalist and editor for more than 15 years, and I still like it, although now I prefer to make books more than magazines.
