I was born in 1959 in Kyiv. In 1976, I enrolled at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Faculty of Cybernetics, specializing in applied mathematics. After completing my fourth year, I transferred to the A. F. Mozhaysky Military Space Academy (VIKI) in Leningrad, entering directly into the fifth year of my education. In 1981 I graduated as a military engineer-mathematician—a deliberate and refreshing new start in my life.

In 1981, after receiving my lieutenant’s rank, I was assigned to Crimea to process telemetry data from numerous spacecraft. Two years later, I began assisting in the control of deep space missions, which led me to the team managing the Lunokhod rovers.

In 1981, after receiving my lieutenant’s rank, I was assigned to Crimea to process telemetry data from numerous spacecraft. Two years later, I began assisting in the control of deep space missions, which led me to the team managing the Lunokhod rovers. Soon after, I was invited to join their department, an opportunity I gladly accepted.

Subsequently, I was transferred to Moscow, where I had the chance to deepen my knowledge of English by reading original English and American literature. Over the years, I built a collection of more than 300 novels by authors such as Louis L'Amour, Wilbur Smith, Stephen King, and Robert Ludlum. I also completed a specialized English course toward a doctoral degree, which, although I did not finish the degree itself, greatly enhanced my language skills.

In 1987, I retired from military service with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. By that time, my English proficiency had improved significantly, and I had already begun writing gaming materials for the almanac Computer Games.

My first paid translation work came in 1991, when I translated an Olivetti manual for a metal treatment furnace. From 1992 to 1994, I worked as a freelance translator for Moscow's Scientific and Technical Documents Translation Bureau, translating technical manuals—including those for CNC milling machines and Netware 3.0. I also translated two novels: Almuric by Robert E. Howard (printed in Around the World magazine) and The Beast by Alfred Van Vogt (published in 1994 by Canon Publishing House).

In 1997, Biblion LTD launched the PC gaming magazine Game World Navigator. I joined as Senior Editor and became Editor-in-Chief in 1998, a position I have held ever since. My editorial work involves constant use of English, proofreading, and managing content, which has further refined my language skills.

Between 2017 and 2021, I had the honor of serving as a judge at the international Gamescom exhibition, the largest gaming event in Europe. During this period, I was the sole representative from Eastern Europe on the jury.

In 2020, I translated and published three science fiction novels by Simon Hawke. While searching for a local publisher for these translations, I discovered Aegitas.ru. Impressed by their quality and efficiency, I met with the publisher, and we agreed to collaborate on new editions of classic literature. I took full responsibility for preparing these books—sourcing original texts, proofreading, correcting typographical and scanning errors, and creating covers and illustrations using AI tools.

Inspired by this work, I decided to become an author myself, and Aegitas kindly published all of my books. ...more
