In the autumn of 1987, I joined the gas tanker Havfrost as first-time captain when the ship passed through the Suez Canal. The ship's captain had exercised his right to go ashore. He did not want to sail the ship into the Gulf. After all, the waters were defined as a war zone.

I was born in a country that no longer exists on the world map but remains in the memories of millions—the Soviet Union.

I am born between a bronze age burial mound and a medieval fortress. History isn't just an interest. It's my birthplace.
