Where Am I?

You are on Eugene Kravtsov’s per­sonal site. Who am I and where from you can find out from the per­sonal file. Also, you can get in touch with me or leave your “Fie!” in the com­plaints book.

What about?

Main top­ics on this site are design in its many senses, sport, both from the spectator’s view and from the participant’s stand­point, polit­ics, soci­ety, travel, pho­to­graphy and so on — whatever strikes my fancy.

One of my main interests in life is music. To that I ded­ic­ated sep­ar­ate pro­ject, theUg’s jam. Also, I try to main­tain my lib­rary.

How?

What’s going on behind the stage, how and why everything works here, you may find out in the boiler room.

Com­rade Who?

As a homage to the recent past of the coun­try I was born into, I throw in a phrase or two once in a while, ref­er­en­cing that past:

• “Sense, hon­our, and con­sciense of our era”, as per tagline of this blog, was referred to Lenin in Com­mun­ist pro­pa­ganda, as to his­tor­ical fig­ure of epic sig­ni­fic­ance, such as myself. Akin to another pop­u­lar amongst people phrase — “[name goes here]: the man and the steamer” (as someone import­ant enough to name a ves­sel after).
• “Beware, embezz­ler of the social­istic prop­erty!” as per the copy­right notice in the footer — phrase was taken from the pop­u­lar Soviet 60’s com­edy, when one thief, pos­ing as a cit­izen police­man, “appre­hen­ded the sus­pect”, his accom­plice, with the osten­ta­tiously vigour­ous exclam­a­tion “Got you, embezz­ler of the social­istic property!”.
• “And in place of heart” as per “powered by” notice in the footer — words taken from the pro­pa­gand­ist song of the Soviet 30’s, “Avia-march”, glor­i­fy­ing the avi­ation: “The Reason gave us the steel arms-wings, and in place of heart — a flam­ing motor”.
