About me
[edit]- My real first name translates into English as "pearl". My last name derives from a Slavic name that means "given by God". I was born in the year when Iron Maiden's album "Number of the Beast" was released. I share the same birthday with Ian Anderson, musician, and Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States.

- My main interests are music: rock and roll, oldies, jazz, bluegrass, hard rock, Italian music, piano; classic cinema; soccer, tennis, weightlifting; linguistics; geography; human rights; psychiatry.
- Favorite actors/actresses include Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Adriano Celentano, Pierre Richard, Fred Astaire, Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Jeremy Brett, Peter Falk, Johnny Depp Charlize Theron.

- I am extremely against wars, racism, chauvinism, xenophobia and other kinds of discrimination, and I am convinced that things like that should never be disregarded.
