A freelance translator living in London, UK, I'm a co-founder of the Zoom-based meetup group Safe Harbour, which brings together people looking for deep, genuine connections. I have written a number of books under different pen names, including “The Geek Who Came from the Cold – Surviving the Post-USSR Era on a Hollywood Diet”, “Celluloid Ham – The Big Book of Little-Known Stories from the World of Cinema” and “Raw Sexuality, or a Year of Indiscretion”. I have a thing for Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas, dream of running a bar in a nudist colony, love hosting and participating in quizzes, enjoy all things historical and have been a passionate movie buff since early childhood.
