As a child, I loved dinosaurs. He constantly reviewed the BBC cassettes, collected dinosaur figures and generally wanted to become a paleontologist. I was then 5 years old, I was taken to an interview in 1st class, where at the end there was a standard question: "Who do you want to become? “To which I, without thinking, gave the standard answer: “A cosmonaut.” My mom was silent, but on the way home I learned why I didn’t tell my teacher about my love for dinosaurs and my desire to become a paleontologist.

I answered:

“Mom, I’ll tell her now who are paleontologists!”
