About me

Hi! My name is Ilya. I'm a freelance copywriter and, partly, a digital marketer.

I'm passionate about content creation and media. Me and my friends run our own podcast. Mostly just about life, without any specific theme :). Plus, of course, I enjoy writing. And, sometimes, photography.

Why Minsk
I love Minsk because it's very cozy on one hand, and is becoming more and more vibrant on the other.

Plus, I adore Minsk's history. It is a very old place, but new at the same time. It was completely rebuilt in the '50s, and this was made by engineers for engineers. It led to Minsk's unique face and atmosphere.

Blincy

Great slavic pancakes

Blincy in Minsk does one thing, but they do it masterfully: pancakes! My pro-tip is to get two pancakes per person. You will be 100% full and satisfied!
