Interview with Kirill Oreshkin by Julia Mark

After I was asked to make an interview with me (O_O) every twenty -seventh, I surrendered. It was possible to endure twenty -six requests, but the twenty -seventh is no good. In my comfortable VKontakutic, I asked who was ready to help me in organizing this disgrace, Julia kindly agreed. All staring at her photo.

You can not look further, there is already about me. Julia’s phone number, there are pictures of it too. There is almost nothing about her. So… 😉

Julia:
At what age and how did you earn your first money? What do you think from what years a person should strive for independence?

Cyril: I earned the first money very … Funny. I was then thirteen or even twelve. I talked with older guys, grew up in the area where there were a lot of dormitories and some of them were heated by coal. Moreover, coal was thrown into the boilers were thrown by the carrier soldiers and it, as is characteristic of those who are sleeping, and the service is coming, was to sink to the quality of this heating. Once a year, in winter they were brought by coal, which should be thrown into the basement, and then from there it was already thrown into the oven. Well, since there was a lot of coal, laziness was no less, coal dragged from the street to the “mine” by the pace by the Stakhanovsky.

We used it. Every night, at 11 hours we dressed up in black, took bags and walked … right, steal coal. Dragged a bag – 300 rubles per nose. Then it was a little more money than now, and I was younger than me. In short, the game was worth the candle. And what memories – night, rain, five completely plague guys quietly and imperceptibly put coal in bags. Light turns on in the house – we themselves pretend to be coal. Well, the classic “… and I’m not a bear at all”. Great.

Then he worked in a video rental, somewhere else. At fifteen I already wrote in the magazine. I don’t know why, but since then I have not stealed coal, by God!

As for independence … I can’t say when you need to strive for it for sure. Here, probably, a lot depends on the family. Someone can not work for 25 years-all the time to devote to study, the acquisition of some skills, and so on. Well, someone needs to look for a job in 12, because there is nothing to live on. I’m not from a rich family at all. Therefore, I always had the idea of ​​”starting to work, and as soon as possible”. Well, so that at least some pocket money is. Over the years, I turned into a workaholic and a lazy personenavian who walks along the streets with a whip and physically condemns everyone who is idle.

Julia:You work on the largest site in Russia in games. What are the prospects for the development of game journalism today? Do you see yourself there in five years, for example?

Cyril: The prospects are huge. Everything has just begun. A simple example. I and Yaroslav Shalashov, being the authors of the “liki”, came up with 2-3 rubrics, which were never before. At 17. And this is not because we are so capable. You just can think in any direction-and something from this will be born.

So everything develops, changes, “classes”. Probably, in twenty to five years, the games will become part of the country’s culture. A generation that is brought up for computers should affect this historical process.

I see myself in game journalism both in five years and fifteen. Simple, probably on other roles. Now I am writing less than two or three years ago. Now in general I have a priority, these are direct broadcasts. We are the first in Russia to do this. What will happen in five years? Let’s see. I hope it will be fun. If it becomes bored, I’ll go steal coal.

Julia: Do you always agree with criticism? Or argue to the end?

Cyril: Always? No. It is absurd to agree with everything. You have to be a prostitute to like everyone. And I’m not like that. In general there is a lot with what most often I disagree. But this is not because I am such a villain. Just critics are few people. Now, if they write to me: “I didn’t like it, for the author is whispering and a fool”, then how to relate to this? The fool is okay, but whisper-and I can not specifically! But I’m already joking. Generally I usually agree if they are laid out on the shelves. To argue to hoarse, to a fight – this is not in my style. I know that I am far from perfect and I can “squint”. I have to learn a lot more.

Julia: Each person has a moment when there is nothing to do. You have a personal recipe for boredom?

Cyril: “There is nothing to do” is the perfect alignment for the day. I work too much, so grace is for me when you can do nothing. But in general, I kill boredom in two ways.

The first is communication. I am madly 7gold-casino.uk like to talk to people interesting to me. The clock fly. I am interested in listening to others, I wonder when they listen to me. It is interesting to argue a little, it is interesting to agree with the opponent. It is interesting to joke, it is interesting to discuss “for life”. When I come to Moscow and meet there with those with whom I communicate only on the Internet, I usually get a tremendous pleasure. We talk just non -stop. And more, in principle, I don’t need anything.

The second lesson from boredom is a game. I really like to play. Sometimes I’m even dangerously doing this a lot. Usually, if I run into something e-sports, I can disappear for months. It is very convenient – you constantly develop tactics in your head, come up with non -standard moves, study other people’s techniques. Miss, be sad? Yes, once! Here you need to understand how to indower the dampis on the trailey when it is soroted!

Well, I also watch movies. I also love to read. I prefer worldwide and Russian classics. There are so many of it that you can not be afraid that you read everything. Although the beloved writer is almost a contemporary – Dovlatov.

Julia: You had a civilian wife. What did this relationship teach you and whether you began to perceive women differently?

Cyril: Oh, yes. It taught me a lot. First, the fact that I am an idiot. Secondly, that I am a big idiot. I was small and stupid, I did everything wrong and even at least behaved well, still ultimately I am an idiot. Start a serious relationship at the age of 17 is a mistake. So that I am at least once, and at 17 years old – never!

In general, I began to treat women differently, yes. It turns out that you can sleep with them. Before it was allowed to be only with my wife.

But seriously – I don’t know yet. My model of behavior with girls suits me. Perhaps they are not satisfied. So someone of us will have to change. I still believe that not for me.

Julia:Tell me about your friends. How often their list is updated?

Cyril: Friendship for me is a somewhat abstract concept that can be turned as it seems. Some say that friends can be 1-2 people, others put something in this concept of their own concept. Like, a friend is the one with whom you communicate a lot. Still others and completely call all people in their lives.

If I think about friendship, then without any specific categories. I have a concept in my head, but I cannot choose the right words to designate thoughts.

If easier-then these are true, real friends, of which there are only one or two in life, which are always with you and without whom you cannot think of yourself-I do not have such. And it is unlikely that they have ever been.

If you recall my life in Sochi, before entering the university, then I had a big company where I was friends with two or three guys very tightly. But … I grew up in such a area and talked with such people where each act was very strictly evaluated, every word could be interpreted very freely, and everyone tried to check you again and again and again. You know, you’re going to meet friends, standing, communicating, but you are always ready. Question to you – and you need to think three times before answering. Always tension, even among best friends.

I knew that this comrade, with whom we did not spill water, would immediately turn away from me if I act … Yes, at least cowardly. If someone hit me from completely extraneous citizens, and I would not hit in response-my friends would have hit me too. One could count on support only if you acted as a “kid”. Plus I was the youngest in the company, in short, the strange time was. There were not many cases in life where I could take a step back. Somehow it went around me. Therefore, it is still in excellent relations with all those who were once my best friends.

Why was it? It’s simple – I moved to Krasnodar. It is difficult to maintain relationships at a distance. When we meet, we rejoice, communicate, hug. Left – everyone has forgotten each other. I won’t come yet. Well, or until we do not need to each other for any (no, this is not a theft of coal).

Now about today’s days. Today I have no close friends. There are a lot of friends. People with whom I am interested in is enough. But it is friends that they will always be near and always support – there are no such. With Yaroslav, probably we would be big friends if we lived nearby. And so-we are also friends, but just Internet communication still imposes some restrictions.

But in general, this is not a topic for experiences, it seems to me that it is normal when a person does not have close friends. I somehow live.

Julia: You do not like people, you are agnostic, you have a very interesting worldview … Tell us more about it.

Cyril: You could just write the first point the question: “Your worldview?”, And I would send you ten pages of the text every day, then you would collect all this in a book, on the second page of which all readers would fall asleep. Well, perhaps besides my mother, she would have mastered a quarter for her son.

Therefore, partly by points. Agnostic. Yes, well, then – I’m not particularly a fan of talking on this topic. If I were an ardent atheist and tried to convince everyone that there was no God, then I would regularly chat about it. If I were truly believing, I would also try to emphasize in every topic. And so – agnostic, what a position? And “yes” cannot say, and from “no” turns away – a dodgy rubbish, not a person!

Religion is too complicated for me. I am generally an extremely not categorical person, I always calculate many options and only if I am 100%sure of something, then I can be categorical (and even then, there can be a lot of doubts, very …).

But I cannot understand atheists who have a fierce that there is no God. Why are they so sure that they have no doubt at all? Strange. I can not accept deeply believers. I ask questions, there is no answer to them. They say to me, just believe me. I don’t know how.

Well, plus I know very little about religions. It is not my thought that it is stupid to blindly follow the faith that gave you the place of birth. I must be Orthodox only because I was born in Russia? And if my mother and father left for India, they gave birth to me there and decided – what – to make me not a Christian?

Now about hatred for people. When they say this, it always seems that in front of you is either some kind of lied cynic, or just a nerd. It’s stupid, you belong to a certain set, but you hate it a lot, but you love yourself. Logic suffers, right?
Let’s say, I really do not like stupidity very much. Frankly – I hate stupidity. And the militant – I just don’t digest. Well, people are supplied to the world, so ..

Julia: Which book or film has had the greatest influence on you lately?

Cyril: hmm … a difficult question. Recently, I changed or understood something not under the influence of books or films, but more and more because of phenomena in personal and working life. But if you take the book ..

Ah, yes. There is one – “night is tender”. Some of her changed my thoughts a little. In particular, the thoughts of marriage. More precisely about how life together passes … However, it is stupid to talk about it. I have the wrong age to make judgments on this issue. I’m starting to feel embarrassed and an idiot. But the book yes, it is this. A geographer of globe drank “a geographer also gave something. I read it just two days ago.

And if you take films, then often when I see good Soviet films, I feel that I am a little better. Such a naive teenage feature. I recently watched “The meeting place cannot be changed”, I liked Sharapov’s openness, and then I asked myself for a few more weeks: “But Sharapov would not have done so, maybe then I should not be worth?”

Julia: You are a journalist. What is this profession for you? What are you find the disadvantages and pluses in this kind of activity?

Cyril: I will lie, if I say that I regularly think that on me, as a journalist, there is a great responsibility and I need to do something for someone to do something like that. No. But I understand that some … influence (there is a devilish laughter here) is. And sometimes I try to “promote” something, in my opinion, good. Something that will reduce the volume of stupidity in the world, so that I do not have to blush anymore when they remind me that I like to talk about how I hate people.

All the rays of love are sending Julia. I will collect them in a bag and transfer them to a personal meeting.
