I'm 20 years old (born 11/11/1986) and I live Israel, near Jerusalem. I was born in the USSR, and fled the country with my mother and my sister when I was four. I have some informal knowledge about the USSR, Communism and the Cold War. I speak, read and write fluently in Russian.
I attended school in Israel, my majors were biochemistry and English. During my two year army service I learned some basic Arabic, Middle-East studies and international relations. I'm interested in religions, especially Islam. I wrote many of the articles about Islam in the Hebrew Wikipedia.
Topics I have knowledge in:
- Islam, especially Shia Islam, early history of the religion and the Quran.
- Israeli history especially the period of the British mandate
- Lebanese history after independence.
- Iran in the 20th century
- The Arab-Israeli conflict
