A year after leaving the university, I decided to serve in the Army. Technically, I could have avoided it (sure, I had to serve, just as all men from 18 and above, but dodging conscription is a common practice in Russia), but honestly, I was seeking new experiences and wanted to immerse myself in a different world - the world of Russian conscription service. So, I made the decision to dive into this "quest" for a year.

I won't delve into the details of my military service here, as it's not quite the topic for this site. If you're curious, feel free to ask me later.
