Autobiography:

Childhood

        I was born on July 14, 1987 in the city of Donetsk. My father, Eugene Mashnikov, graduated from the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering of Moscow Institute of Petrochemical and Gas Industry named after Gubkin, worked for more than 20 years as a master in Donetsk specialized management № 473 "Electrical", is now working as the chief electrician of the Donetsk State Circus. Mom, Mashnikova Vera, graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry, Donetsk National University, works as a teacher of chemistry at school № 65, Donetsk.

        I am the third child in the family. My older brother, Mashnikov Artem, graduated from the National Transport University, lives and works in Kiev. He is married. My sister, Mary Mashnikova, studyies at Kiev National University of Technology and Design. She is married too.

        I always remember my childhood with love and joy. I grew up in a big and harmonious family. I was always surrounded by the people dear to me. Parents did not take me into the kinder garden, because it was not necessary - my mother did not work and devoted all her time raising children.

School years

        On September 1, 1994 I went to the first grade of secondary school № 65. At that time it was the only ukrainian school in Donetsk. Also there was an opportunity to learn foreign languages since the first form. School staff consisted of young and talented teachers. I liked to learn. I think that the process of learning, comprehension of the new is objective. Children from their birth are thirsty for knowledge and have interest about the world around them. They make their own discoveries. The primary school teachers were able to bring us in an exciting and interesting way the knowledge necessary for further education and life.

        At the age of 9 I went to an art school № 3 to learn how to play the bayan. Training lasted for 5 years. During that time I learned to play the bayan well enough, loved classical and folk music, and acquired the experience of performing on the stage.

        When I was 10 years old I joined the Ukrainian scout organization "Plast". It was fun, and my life filled with adventure time. We often went hiking, went to a summer camp. In cold season we were gathering at various congresses, took part in sports and intellectual competitions. During the years which I spent in "Plast" I traveled extensively round Ukraine. I visited the Carpathians, the Crimea, Kiev, Lviv, Uzhgorod, and many other cities.

        I had no favorite subjects at school. I could never answer the question "What do you want to become?” because I always wanted to know everything. However, history, especially the history of the Middle Ages, and also the history of the Cossacks in the Ukraine were of a particular interest to me. In high school I was interested in natural and exact sciences: chemistry, physics and mathematics. I participated in school and district competitions in these subjects.

        After finishing from music school, I taught myself to play the guitar, later I wonder to increase the level of the guitar playing, I took private lessons with a teacher. At that time I was interested in everything related to the guitars, I really liked the blues, and I was even seriously thinking about becoming a professional guitarist.

University

        I didn't finish school yet and entered university after I passed the ratings. The difference between school and university was much more tangible than I had expected. Learning was much more difficult, but interesting. I remember with delight the drawings submitted to the department of engineering graphics and descriptive geometry. At first it was difficult even to imagine that I could draw something like that someday. Also I want to mention subjects such as TOE (Theoretical Foundations of Electrical Engineering) and Electrical Machines. Particular attention should be given to philosophy, a new, but very interesting subject to me, which contributed to my general development.
