General Information edit

Good day to thee, stranger. Allow me to introduce myself; perhaps an introduction would add credibility to my words and edits. I was born in 1988 in Moscow, Russia. Currently, I am a second-year undergraduate student at the University of Oxford, reading for a B.A. in Russian (the course is heavily biased toward the study of literature, and I hope in due time to do some major editing in articles concerning Russian writers). My other interests include linguistics, history, and philosophy. You can contact me on my Talk page; I will reply to you on your talk page to make sure you read my answer.

On the use of Userboxes edit

While I realise that Userboxes may seem very disruptive to some, I consider them an excellent way of quickly relaying information about me to the visitors of the page and also kind of fun. Obviously, I try not to litter the page with such userboxes as can be considered completely unnecessary, although they do slip through occasionally. Please forgive me for this. Also, it just saves me time writing about myself...

Grammar and stuff...

“…”

;
