Hello! I'm Sergei.
I live in Russia, the Altai Territory, the city of Barnaul. I am 54 years old. Married, children adults live separately, my grandson is 4 years old so I'm grandfather. He was born in Rudny Altai in the city of Ridder (Kazakhstan). Not a big taiga city in Siberia.

I spent my childhood in fascinating hikes through the taiga and mountain peaks. Parents did not forbid us to go to the mountains or the taiga. A dangerous encounter with wild animals such as a bear, a lynx, a wolf, did not frighten us. Wild animals did not attack us, but we saw many representatives of the taiga. Wild animals and the company of boys 10-12 years old, we did not interfere with each other. We got to the planned place in 5 hours and lived there 2-3 days. In winter, on a day off on skis, we went to the taiga and lit a fire, playing simple games.
After graduating from high school, he studied in the mining technical school, then 2 years of the army. He served in the Moscow Air Defense District. The first trip in my life outside the Altai. The army allowed to see other places. All 2 years of service he spent on business trips to different cities. I was a boy from the province, it was very interesting.
Having given the debt to my homeland, I married, my girlfriend was waiting for me all this time. He worked in the mine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they moved to Barnaul. He worked in the factory, now retired. Now I can do my favorite thing, fishing on the river Ob.
I hope there will be more days for fishing and the fish will peck more often.
