graphomania on the occasion

All my life, it seemed to me that answers make a person's thinking bigger and at the same time sharper. But over time, I realized that answers are born only where they are preceded by good questions. Not to the textbook or to the authority, but to reality itself — to what we see, but often do not notice. It is often said that human life is short. I am becoming more and more convinced that it can be "lengthened" — not by the number of years I have lived, but by the density of observations. In more detail...

I don't remember any names. I don't know who these children have become. I don't know which of them is in school today, who is already working, who is raising younger brothers and sisters, and who has long been swept away by a road that we don't even know exists. But I remember their eyes.

There are countries that are known to the world for their achievements. There are countries that are known for their tragedies. Rwanda belongs to the second category.

When you first find yourself in Africa, it feels like you're going to see other people. But a few days pass, and it becomes clear that Africa is actually showing you yourself.

However...s ago, my parents traveled to the Caucasian Mineral Waters. The mountains, the narzans, the clear air, and the long walks... Apparently, this is where my story began. At that time, I was a rather microscopic creature with a tail, but I was probably quite fast. According to biology, the fertilizing speed of a sperm cell is around 25 meters per second. This means that I was swimming much faster than I am now. However...

On January 4, 2026, it will be exactly three years since I returned to the pool after a thirty-year hiatus...

The Himba tribe is one of the most colorful and unique peoples of Africa, living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region, near the border with Angola. It is a mistake to assume that these people are wild. Many Himba have dual citizenship - Himba and Namibia (not many of us can boast passports from two countries :)), but they do not fully recognize Western laws. Their culture, way of life and appearance have remained virtually unchanged for centuries despite globalization. It is understandable that young people leave for the cities, but they also often return to their roots. And why? Let's try to figure it out together...

В прежние времена, будь то в СССР или Англии, чтобы позвонить из автомата на улице, мы платили денежку и несколько минут у тебя было для разговора. Куда подевалось это прекрасное условие? есть предложение

В любой культуре есть ритуалы. Некоторые направлены на укрепление здоровья — и физического, и психического. Об одном из таких ритуалов я хочу рассказать.

The article makes it clear that the problems of public health service are strategic in nature. That is why only tactical strategic decisions on its development can significantly influence such basic indicators as the sickness rate, the life-span and the ability to work of the population. The conceptual nature of public health service, substantiating the necessity of its conceptual restructuring, is revealed. The scenario of public health service innovative upgrade based on the conceptual technologies, taking into account of the system approach and the cultural context in their inseparability is suggested.

Keywords: Public health care, conceptual restructuring, innovative scenario, system approach, the cultural context

You must admit that God watches us right through the dog’s eyes! How else can He watch us, people? And how else can one explain the dog’s look – sincere, speechless but understanding everything? This thought came to my mind 5 years ago though the events which had preceded it go back to the far year of 1998. Read more...

Conversation on Facebook:
– Where are you?
– Travelling.
– Where this time?
– Where cannibals live.
– ...How are you?
– All parts of my body still belong to me!:)

Seems funny? Click the "like" button. Somebody will say – it can’t be true, what cannibals these days?! A year later after we spent 3 weeks in company with true cannibals as participants of the expedition "Live Parallel in Papua New Guinea", I can hardly believe it myself. Shall we remember it together?

Looking into the eyes of this female leader of the Korowai tribe who are still considered to be cannibals, one may think there will be a more vivid experience during our life but the state of shock is still holding us hard! Read more…

Later we may ask ourselves where we are going and why. This thought came to my mind under the sign “CANNIBALISM POLICE”…  But it was too late, we had to go farther consoling ourselves with the thought that we were among the very few people in the whole world who had made some steps forward from the sign.  Read more...

The only one of the three places on the planet covered with snow on the equator is Mount Irian Jaya. Along with other mountains it seizes the Baliem valley around the perimeter while I’m seized with the feeling of being carried to the primeval world...

It was for a good reason that our penetration into the island as well as the Papuan culture was carried out in a gradual and unhurried way… Including the most ancient form of relationship, the trade. More...

I want to take a breath – we have done it! The expedition Live Parallel 2013 – Papua New Guinea where we walked many kilometers through the jungle, spent tens of kilometers inside the tarantas and hundreds of kilometers on board small planes flying on the same principle as a route-taxi, has come to an end without loss and above all with the result! But it could be otherwise… Well, let us not talk about sad things but about interesting ones, so… Jakarta was the first place to see.
