Hello, my name is Gala and I am a future Russian language and literature student. My interests include: Russian and English classic literature, languages (Slavic languages, English, Spanish and Latin), the Arts and Crafts and Art Deco movements, Socialist Realism (in architecture), psychology, philosophy and writing.

I intend to keep track of my reading, writing and studying here.

Main blog is @theundergroundwoman
