It all started here
August 26, 1984, was bursting with cultural, musical, and festive events—everything from concerts by global superstars and TV shows to national and religious holidays all over the world.
And on that very day, in a small town called Shatura (120 km from Moscow, Russia), in the local maternity ward, a wonderful woman named Nadezhda (the English equivalent is Hope) gave birth to her second child.
The boy was born healthy, handsome, and incredibly charismatic. His parents gave him an awesome name—Maksim.

People enjoy hugging me.
