Introduction
The continuous consumption of information and the frenzied pace on one side of the scale versus Zen contemplation of leaves rustling in the wind from ancient trees... I keenly observed what would outweigh it, and silence took its place.
For 8 years, I gained experience and led a measured life by the sea. I needed to step out of the society that surrounded me. To become independent. To create something meaningful. Even for myself.
However, now I realize that I cannot achieve such enlightenment to stop desiring to be useful to society. Therefore, against the philosophy of downshifting, I am shifting to a higher gear.
The world doesn't want to be saved, and, of course, I won't try that. I am interested in personalities who want to be different. For them, I will continue this journey and convey some knowledge. Part of it is encrypted, and part will be conveyed in subtext.

What Is Ikona Russia?
At the core of IKONA RUSSIA lies heterogeneity. I intentionally moved away from the concept of a personal blog and shifted the idea into a new space.
In an era of nostalgia and repetitions, where hype prevails, and something complex and unique takes a back seat, it's challenging to create. Probably, every thinking person has felt the injustice of being.
You can't do anything about it; even time plays against us, so only through effort, and overcoming obstacles, can one come to the light, and the best option is to do it together with you.
Agree, that beauty lies in details: in composition, rhythm, words, lines, and, of course, in action. Without attention to nuances, there would be no perfection, and there would be no IKONA RUSSIA. It is in these subtle and seemingly insignificant components that the essence of my work unfolds.
Rest assured, I have always sacrificed myself to be a guide for you in the search for meaning. I say this sincerely, or I would have pursued something else. Fortunately, the choice was always there.
As mentioned above, I trust you'll be able to discern the hidden message. Therefore, I suggest spending a couple of hours wisely and starting the movement from form to content right now.
CONCLUSION
I have invested my experience and passion into this project, filling it with vibrant content for discerning readers.
I showed a reflection of my life and my thinking, but no one stops at what's been achieved. So, each time you visit ikonarussia.com, you'll notice something new.
What you wanted to know but were hesitant to ask. A brief FAQ after the conclusion.
To be concise: mindfulness, depth, dedication to a cause. Sometimes, solitude.
The answer is evident: profundity is replaced by something basic and primitive. However, I have no regrets. For me, IKONA RUSSIA holds exceptional value. Everything else is secondary. The blog has become dominant and significantly altered my perspectives.
Once, I set a goal to bring a complex intellectual object to life. Unlike others, I at least attempted to seize this chance. I wish the same for you.
At this moment, I haven't achieved my initial goal, but intermediate results please me. Some related projects have been implemented, and I understand where I'm heading.
In the modern pace, having a mentor nearby is crucial.
I have a sociological education, a red diploma, excellent production skills, refined taste, and a serious cultural background. I understand not only sociology but also psychology, art, trends, techniques of personal growth, and personality harmonization.
Every six months, I choose two unfamiliar people and work with them completely free of charge because I enjoy doing it. I don't attempt to profit from my knowledge, so I stand apart from other mentors.
To be part of this selection, you need to reach out to me on any social network. I also provide free image consultations through the section Forma from IKONA RUSSIA. To other coaches, I can only advise: learn to give. It's a valuable skill.
The project that is remembered after a while is good. In such a case, it strategically influences society, transforming it. Even by a micron. If I can achieve this effect in the future and save some destinies, I'll be pleased. Today, IKONA RUSSIA is a puzzle yet to be solved.
There's something else, but I'm not ready to share it yet. A little later…
You've read to the last lines. You've formed an impression of me. The choice is yours: flip the chapter and partially free yourself from the shackles of ignorance, or move on to more familiar activities. Either way, most of us have a "tomorrow" in reserve.
