 Vadim Khamuttskikh

Pike

We don’t have the real vacation. Maximum – 2 weeks, so to the foreign resorts, I prefer fishing at home. Guys from the team had drawn me into it. My personal record is a 4.5 kg pike. The other day Argentinean Alejandro Spajic joined us.

Zadornov

Usually I read magazines and newspapers about cars or magazine “Caravan Istorij” (the Caravan of Stories). Sometimes I read books, of the last ones – “Humor Stories” by Mikhail Zadornov. I agree with him that Russians are lot different from Europeans, it seems Europeans are more right, boring maybe.

Patriot

I was in many countries. Each of them interesting by itself, but nothing impressed me there. Neither Turkey resorts, nor French vines, nor Italian kitchen. I like pelmeni, Russian rock – “DDT”, “Voskresenie” (“Sunday”), “Mashina Vremeni” (“Time Machine”), soviet comedies and in general – to live in Russia.

Phobias

I hate heights. Parachute jumping and other extreme – not for me. I’m more utilitarian person.

Coffee

But instead of drinking usual Russian “water”, I prefer coffee.  Coffee is my weakness; I like Italian and Cuban sorts.
