In 1998 I started translating books as a freelance translator. This got me enough money to buy my first PC (before that I used one owned by my girlfriend). One of the books was never published (The Star Mirror, Mark Vidler) and the other was – The Barrens and Others, F. Paul Wilson. His short story – The Barrens made me such a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft.

Afterwards I continued as a translator and subtitler of documentaries for Discovery Channel and National Geographic, specializing in Nature and veterinary. For the 2 years I worked as a translator I have translated more than 400 documentaries.
