I am a scientist, but a very addictive personality. One of my biggest hobbies is photography. I and my twin brother Victor Koldunov are working together. Usually we sign photos Koldunov Brothers and can not remember who pressed the button during the shooting. Also together we have a channel on YouTube, which is also called the Koldunov Brothers
