Привет,
Its nice to join you all here. Мое имя Кира. It certainly seems friendly here. I am from Денвер, Колорадо, США. My hobbies include cooking, nature walks, and cosmonautics research (Да Космонвтики!), but lately this research is very specialized. I am basically the point person in the Western Hemisphere for questions regarding the spacecraft "Vostok" and "Voskhod". On April 12th of this year we will celebrate 50 years of piloted space exploration pioneered by Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin - Ю́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин, a name we should all remember.

I am also a music fan. In addition to my favorite classic rock (YES, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin) I've found that I like music from the classic Russian Rock era in the 1980s-90s (Кино, ДДТ, Агата Кристи, Аквариум и другие)

In truth, I am fairly comfortable in my growing skills to read Russian, its the writing and speaking that I wish to improve. I look forward to meeting you in the coming days and weeks.

Все лучшее,
Кира
