I was born in Asian part of Russia – in small city Tyumen. My grandmother, grandfather, I and my parents lived in village near Tyumen in Siberia, behind Ural mountains.
I love wonderful Siberian nature. Every spring I travelled to local lakes & rivers to look for good places for observe birds.  South of Tyumen region all big lakes become alive when big beautiful birds as flamingo, swans and pelicans migrated from South Asia.   When I did read stories and novels of Ernest Seton-Thompson I began to write stories about nature. I did read novels of Jerald Darrell  and another writers who love nature .
Painting and drawing of animals and landscapes became my favorite hobby. Eagles and other birds of prey, footsteps of animals was my paintings. 
My parents  and I had two cows and sheep.  In Summer we supplied fodder for our cows and sheep. In winter, after school time, meandh my brother produced brooms. Our Grandfather was a Veteran of Second World War. He did sell brooms to a Plant near our village. It was good work but little bit of money. Always I did love books about nature and did buy them.I can’t see when men murder so beautiful birds. Hunters or poachers shoot birds.. It was terrible.
It was my dream from this time to be biologist and save wonderful world of nature. Nature does nott have borders. Only human made borders between countries. After disintegration of Soviet Union in 1992  I began to study at Biological faculty of Tyumen State University. Unfortunately Russian science facility  was in ruins and collapse. I did learn all courses very good and graduate from two faculties: biological and psychological with honor. I did study English, German and Japanese. I became strong in IT-science. I did make programs for scientific statistic  with help Pascal and Basic. I am interested in physiology and technologies of protection of nature and utilization. It was very good for me.
In entering evaluation exams I get not a entering amount of credits. But I desired study in Biological faculty and I had audience with dean and did tell her about my childhood’s dream. After that I did enter. It was big success for me because  my family was poor and hadn’t money for my education.
While I study I working in American Christian School in Tyumen as assistant of tutor of national history. Tutor was  Mister Daniel from Tennessee. It was good practice for me.  After graduation I began working at Secondary school as Tutor of Biology and Chemistry. There in education system and in Science especially in province was been  small salaries in Russia. One salary per Month was so small that I can’t buy simple shoes for me. Unfortunately it not changed now. During 18 years after Soviet Union Private schools and Science no developed in Russia. 
In this situations live with small salaries became very and very difficult. I decided to change my finance situation. After working in difficult nonqualified jobs I earn small capital for payment and receiving the law education. In comparison with teaching and science  advocacy became more popular and can give good finance provision. I began study law of Russian and EC. But I never forgot my dream. I always did dream about biological occupation and arts
