No one becomes a volunteer forces, everyone gets something-self-confidence, communication skills, personal realization-for which he is ready to waste time and effort. ” ( From the book of Dmitry Markov "#Draft" ).

A simple person is generally very vividly responding to interest to his own address: I think this is due to the fact that he meets such an attitude. ” ( From the book of Dmitry Markov "#Draft" ).

“They say that I shoot“ Russia without embellishment ”, but I find this assessment rather superficial. If you try to describe my stories in a similar vein, it will be more accurate to say that I am shooting "average Russia."
