My name is Tatyana, I am a native Russian speaker, linguist, freelance translator and creative writer. Basically, languages are my passion, that’s why my duties go often beyond the activities mentioned above.

This blog was primarily created to educate people out of prejudice and give relevant and truthful information about living in Russia and Siberia in particular. Hope it will be interesting for people who are going to visit Russia, especially Novosibirsk and other Siberian cities.

P.S. Of course, I am always pleased to communicate with interesting people and tell how my bear plays balalayka and goes to the market to buy me some vodka :)
