Greetings!
I came across your Naval affairs forum the other day and stayed up almost all night reading it. Lots of interesting stuff there.
I live in Moscow, Russia. My big interest in life is building fast cars. Having been born and raised on a Soviet Naval base in a Navy family I also care for ships and especially subs.
I promise not to write about things I don't know about.

The landscape in those pictures looks all too familiar
I was born in Severomorsk. This was the closest place with a desent hospital to where we lived - Gadjievo.

P.S.: Below is a picture of my dad and myself almost 40 years ago
