Hi,to talk about myself let me tell you something interesting.You must have
certain fond memories as a child growing up in the place you grew up in.Same
here buddy.But what is more important is that we never really spend our
childhood where we were staying at that time.We spend a major part of our child
hood in our dream lands surrounded with the imaginary characters that we read
in fairy tale books.Thus when we are young our companions are not just our
parents but more importantly fairies,goblins,and talking and moving dolls.
But we cannot live in our dream lands for ever.We grow up and are forced to
exit that dream land of our's simply because we come to realise that that is
not real,that fairyland does not really exist.But despite that there remains a
strong nostalgia and with that a desire to return to that magical
place.Unfortunately most of us cannot do so.I, on the other hand, can.

I was born in India on the 23rd of January 1983 in the city of Calcutta.For
that matter I am an Indian citizen and a son of Indian parents.But I have good
reasons to consider myself a Russian.You see,from the earliest time that I can
remember all my story books have been Russian ones,translated from Russian.That
is because at that time in India it was much easier to get books of Russian
origin.So I actually grew up on Russian fairy tales enriched with Russian
culture and values.For me for a long time there existed only two countries,one
of my home(the house I lived in) and the other being Russia.I read about
Russian Tsars about Baba Yaga (scary isnt't she?)and Ivan,the prince.I read
about the Firebird and many many such stories,and these stories remained with
me.And they still do today.

Therefore Russia became my dreamworld.It became the world that I would see in
my dreams,a world that I would run off to whenever I had to escape the real
world.That is good because my fairytale land actually exists and I can actually
visit it and more importantly love it with all my heart.Even today Russia
remains a nostalgia to me.Even today I can see Russia as the place where
everything is good and great.That no matter how wrong this perception can
be.But I am very optimistic that good days for Russia are just round the corner.

I must admit that as I grew up my mental association with Russia somehow drew
back.But nevertheless it remained firmly rooted somewhere in the back of my
head.It was only after a gap of several years that I came across a magazine
article about Russia after the fall of Communism and read about the sufferings
of the people there.It hurt me terribly that this country of my dreams was in
such peril.I saw my dreams shatter and that is what made me jump up and
notice.That is what brought Russia into my direct focus once again.And I have
took an oath that I will in my fullest ability do anything to bring Russia back
from the place it has got itself into.And I am determined to keep my word.I
hope you will not take it as any attempt in butting my way to being a Russian.I
just can't help being a Russian.Not just because I love Russia very much but
also because I know and see the I share completely all the typical Russian
traits.I could never really identify myself with any other place other than
Russia,not even India.I guess that whereever I will be I will be as a true and
faithfull Russian.

That is why I took up the name Zoar Ovich Khyronov.
