Hobbies:

I like reading (historical books, Marya Semenov's books), listening music (classical music, saxophone, relax, songs: Joe Dassin, Chris de Burgh, Whitney Houston, Joan Baez, Okudzhava, Dol'skii, "Ivasy"), like good paintings, describing beautiful  sites of nature, beautiful women (a woman is a part of nature, though);  like playing chess, hockey, football, backgammon, cards (Preference, Canasta, Poker) - adore WINNING at all that; (took a great interest in computer games before, but God be praised, have grown cool now -- there are many much more interesting things, and less harmful); like skating, skiing, swimming in a warm sea and baking in the sun, traveling, and so on, and on. - Unfortunately, there is no time for these all!!

I like history, linguistics (especially, a Russian language history), astronomy, microcosm physics, mathematics in whole and scheduling theory, in particular. I take a fancy for women. (Well, men, if frankly, - how man cannot take a fancy for these creatures?! - see My family status.) Like singing, walking in a forest, staring at the blue sky and plunging into "mirrors of sole" (that's why, maybe, I like so much doctors-women: covering less attractive parts of their faces with a neutral white color, they retain their eyes "face-to-face" with you). I adore moving at music, walking barefoot, picking the cool ground at my "dacha" - after a week spent in the stuffy building of the Institute of mathematics this is like a balm to my soul. My last hobby is writing books on scheduling and a textbook for students. I plan to get keen on creating and implementing two global things: A) a DataBase in Internet on Theory of Scheduling that could be maintained and enlarged by ANY member of the scheduling society (without asking a permission of the Administrator);  B)  a unified phonetic alphabet for European languages (that would enable everyone to pronounce any foreigner's name correctly).
Actually, life is a fascinating thing, isn't it ?
