If you’re looking for a way to get in touch with me, I recommend an incredibly simple solution: just write me an email. I’ll read your message within the day (or, in extreme cases, by the following day).
In addition, for the curious among you, I’ve collected on a single page all the links to my various accounts scattered across the Web.
— Facebook — I usually only add people I know in real life (or those I’ve got to know exceptionally well online). In any case, if you send me a friend request on Facebook, don’t forget to introduce yourself: very often I can’t recognise someone just from their name and profile picture. Anyone I don’t know personally is welcome to click the «Follow» button instead.
— Telegram channel — At the moment, I only use it to share links to new posts on my blog.
— Twitter (aka X) — I mostly use it to automatically broadcast updates from my Russian-language blog. Actual tweets (in various languages) are something I post maybe three or four times a year — it’s not really my preferred format.
— LJ blog (in Russian) — Until 1 September 2014, I used to write there more or less regularly on various topics. Since that date, I’ve only been reposting content from my new blog. The same goes for my Italian LiveJournal (though I’m not sure how interesting that might be to Italian readers).
— vkontakte (VK) — Many of you will know it’s the Russian equivalent of the old-school Facebook. I have an account, but I use it less and less, as ordinary people are leaving the platform: it’s become a convenient source of material for the FSB to use in prosecuting citizens.
— instagram — I post my brief, simple thoughts on things I find interesting in everyday life. About 50% of the content overlaps with the blog. It’s also a completely selfie-free zone!
— flicker — I hardly use it, as I find it rather inconvenient. But who knows — I might change my mind one day.
— YouTube — From time to time I upload personal videos. There’s nothing particularly interesting for now, but with the rise of AI tools, I hope to start bringing a few ideas to life soon.
— guestbook (in Russian) — I opened it in 2002, I keep it open because of my activities at xbase.ru. I reply to messages promptly.
My accounts on now-defunct platforms (listed here purely for nostalgic reasons):
— yandex.fotki — This was the photo hosting service I used most often. So this link is still the best answer to anyone asking where they can see my pictures.
— Google+ — I signed up just a few weeks after its official launch (back when it was invite-only!). I still don’t really know why I did.
— ICQ 372402336 — I know ICQ was never particularly popular in Europe (and even less so once Facebook took off), but I couldn’t leave it out — it’s still one more way to contact me.
— eugi.gufo — My Skype account.
And just to reassure any sceptics: only the accounts listed above are genuinely mine. Please avoid any fake ones!
