First and foremost, I'd like to state that I and majority of the Russian people I know stand against Russian aggression in Ukraine. We want nothing but peace!

Hi, stranger! Welcome to my profile :) A few words about me: I'm a QA engineer and I LOVE what I do!
I also enjoy a score of both common and unusual things, such as horse riding (dressage), travelling, baking and cooking (check out https://www.instagram.com/cakesnotforsale/) , astronomy, studying languages, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, watching TV series, playing PC and board games and escape quests. I'm really interested in features and traditions of every single country.
I'd love to read about you, your hobbies, amazing things that happened to you recently; some facts about your country/city... I love receiving fully written cards!

Here are the cards I prefer (in no particular order):

- Horses
- Wild cats
- Japanese anime characters (especially from Gintama)
- Sunset & sunrise viewes
- Mountain views
- Space, the Universe
- Map cards
- Local snacks or just any food that looks extremely tasty
- Buddhist temples (but no Buddhas, please), shinto shrines, mosques, breathtaking Gothic temples
- Fantasy creatures (except Disney)
- Alfonse Mucha
- Nice illustrations
- Watercolour and pastel drawings
- Drawn citiviews
- Shaped cards
- Gotochi cards
- Серия "Фауна Беларуси" (пожалуйста, загляните на мою postcard wall, чтобы не отправить повторку ;))

If you're sending me a view-card, please send a single-view from YOUR country. And let it be the most beautiful view, in your opinion :)

My favourites wall is my wishlist, so I'll be glad to receive any of these cards!

I'd also love to receive a non-multiview card showing one of the cities&towns I visited and loved: Kyoto, Budapest, Istanbul, Izmir, Münich, Nürnberg, Bamberg, Würzburg, Lisbon, Sintra, Rome, Florence, Milan, Split, Dubrovnik.

Sorry, I DON'T really like multiview cards, folded and ad cards (even if they fit my wishlist). Please, don't send me old yellowed cards, cards with quotes, contemporary art, cards with children or self-printed cards. Please, save them for postcrossers who like these types of cards.

I'm into amateur numismatics, so I'd love to recieve coins from your country or from a country you visited, if possible. If you're going to send me a coin, please see here: https://en.ucoin.net/uid61462 - these are the foreign coins I've got. For every card with a coin attached, which is new to my collection, I will send you a card back. If it won't cost you more, please send card + coin (attached to the card) in an envelope, for the coin's safer travel.

Dear postcrossers from U.S.A. and Canada, I’ll be extremely grateful if you send me one of the commemorative quarters (please check U.S.A./Canada on the link above). I can send you Russian commemorative coins in exchange!
