Reading, writing, figuring out
how things work.

I’m interested in history, language, literature, science and local legends. This site brings together my writing and the discoveries that sometimes turn into new stories.

My short story “Tropical Frost, or Bindas” appeared in the Russian-language anthology «Хтонь за околицей», published by MIF and «Шуфлядка Писателя».

The notes cover reading, research for my own fiction and curious details along the way. Posts from “Отдыхальня номер 42”, my old blog about science, life and everything else, remain under their original dates in the Russian feed.
