dedicated to Russian cinema. The last broadcast took place in October 2024, where I participated in a new quiz show format that became even more exciting and dynamic.Apparently, participating in an intellectual competition in front of TV cameras is a lot of stress. How do you manage to deal with it?I%u2019ll say this: given my profession, I%u2019m stressed not by the cameras, but by their absence! TV cameras, on the contrary, give a powerful injection of endorphins, because this is a great way to demonstrate your erudition to the whole country! So I really enjoy participating in quiz shows. Besides, I like the competitive process itself.When you participate in an intellectual game with a partner or a team, what do you consider the most important thing to achieve victory?Since the range of topics offered is very wide, there can only be one method of the game: to answer what you know and not try to answer what you don%u2019t know. The ability to evade the wrong answer in order to win a competition is also a kind of art.What inspires you besides mind games?Traveling is my next passion after law and intellectual contests! I am a staunch lover of sea cruises. It sounds funny, but the love for them also originated in his youth, while watching Latin American TV series, or rather, one of them %u2013 %u00abMy second Mother.%u00bb It was 1993. Seventeen episodes of the series were devoted to a Caribbean cruise, and the exoticism that I saw then, even on black-andwhite TV, captivated and literally captured me! And although at that time, sea cruises were akin to a flight to Mars for me, I made a promise to myself sooner or later to experience these feelings on my own. In 2018, this dream came true, and since then, almost every year I try to go on a sea voyage. The last of them, the fifth in a row, took place in November 2024, it was a two-week cruise from Dubai to Singapore on one of the largest liners in the world.Are there any countries where you want to return to, or do you prefer the new and unknown?In total, I visited 32 countries. Unfortunately, over the past four years, the possibilities of sea travel for us, Russian citizens, have become less accessible due to the complexity of the flight to the port of departure. Therefore, from the second to the fourth cruise, I traveled exclusively in the Persian Gulf, visited the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. I have been to the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain many times. I must say that I always want to return to these amazing places, as if from oriental fairy tales.How are you improving? What are you doing in practice to expand your knowledge?I believe that every day in my life it is important to develop and learn something new for myself. That%u2019s why I constantly read various literature, watch interesting films and shows in order to gain new knowledge for myself, both professionally and for general development. For example, on the last cruise, I visited English-language quizzes several times, learned a lot of interesting facts from them, and at the same time tested myself for the first time in an intellectual competition in a foreign language. In general, Lewis Carroll was completely right when he said: %u00abTo stand still, you have to run, and to go forward, you have to run very fast.%u00bbAnd the last question. Apart from the profession of a lawyer, what business do you consider important for yourself?I hope that I will be able to help people not only in the legal field, but also in the social, economic, or political fields. There are always many problems in society that can be solved only by knowing these problems intimately from the inside. We, lawyers and advocates, are fully interested in ensuring that the citizens of our country live in a prosperous state, and that the streets are in perfect order.Leonid, thank you for an interesting interview!I hope that I will be able to help people not only in the legal field, but also in the social, economic, or political fieldswww.osminog.pro 69
