Hello, Steemit. My name is Alexey. They call me Lyosha or Lesha there. Same thing as Bob for Robert.
My whole life I live in Russia and only recently (in my 25, now I'm 26) I saw other countries.
All of you know Russia is too big to visit all her cubicles. Besides, I live in one of these Russian cubicles. We call this city - Kaliningrad. It's named after one soviet 'chekist'. You always can know this city as Kenigsberg - it's historical name. Immanuel Kant lived and worked there. It`s known that Kant did not leave his native city at all - so, maybe, Kant by himself became an example of how far the mind can go beyond the empirical;) In the same manner, we - citizens of Kaliningrad - do not leave our city. But most of us have a more mundane cause - Kaliningrad is surrounded by other countries (Poland & Lithuania) and is divorced from big Russia.
I work with crypto as a consultant. Also, I work as a lecturer in a local university and try to get my Ph.D. in unfriendly to Austrian economics conditions of Russian science;) I try to fight for freedom and liberty in our country, but I do not support any institutional political force in Russia. So, here - in my steemit - I will try to tell you something interesting about Russia, Russian economic, politics and culture. Also, I will try to tell you about Austrian economics in Russia.
You will notice: we are not like you, and you are not like us, but nevertheless, we are united by a lot and, above all, the fact that together we are an inextinguishable part of Western civilization.
I do not know the right 'tags' for newbies and do not know the whole rules, but already I act as a part of Russian steemit's fork - golos.io. So, I guess it will be easy to become a small part of your community. I will try to make my thoughts understandable for you - I mean texts there will be written in English.
Hi there and You're welcome. Hope, I'm welcomed too:)
