User:Alex Bakharev





Hi, I was born in Saint-Petersburg Russia, lived and worked there for the best half of my life, then worked in the USA at the UIUC. I then moved to Australia to work for Moldflow (currently Autodesk Moldflow). I am earning my living as a plastic engineer but interested in aspects of human culture and God's wisdom. If you understand Russian language you can read my livejournal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/zanuda. Or on IRC as Alex Bakharev/abakharev.

I am an admin on English Wikipedia, if you want me to be recalled here is the instruction how to do it in four easy steps.

Distribution of Elephants and Materialization of Ghosts
In the best Soviet Traditions, let me celebrate the New Year by awarding barnstars for the best contributions during the last few months:
 * User:Ghirlandajo gets St. Vladimir Barnstar with diamonds in recognition of his leadership on Portal:Russia project and his articles on Medieval Russia.
 * User:Irpen gets the WikiDefender Barnstar for his heroic work protecting Wikipedia from the Bad Faith Edits and Vandalism.
 * User:Punkmorten gets the Gold Run Barnstar for his articles on Russian and Soviet athletes.
 * User:Camerafiend gets the Rotating Barnstar for his articles on Moscow Metro
 * User:Vald gets the Exceptional Newcomer Award for his articles on Russian poets and translations of Russian poetry into English
 * I also recieved a barnstar from User:Ghirlandajo on the Catholic Christmas Day. I am really proud of it and hope to live up to this award.

The next awarding ceremony would be at some other Soviet holiday, probably the March 8 abakharev 07:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Khoikhoi got Order of Friendship of Peoples, as per statute, "for accomplishments in strengthening of inter-ethnic and international friendship and cooperation". It was a relatively minor Order in the Soviet Union, but I regard it as one of the highest awards on Wikipedia
