PROJECTS       

ONLY "INTERESTING" PROJECTS/SERVICES/FAVOURS
from 1994 to present, in counter-chronological order, are listed here

 

2009

  • Virtual office services: receiving correspondence, forwarding it to client, scanning and e-mailing letters, errands.

  • Consulted several westerners on Russian brides scam. A couple of identity checks for Russian bride seekers.

  • Person search. Found!

Summer 2008

  • Arranged a series of interviews with old women who were under German occupation in the winter of 1941 for an Belgian film-maker.
  • Conducted a massive Russian bride search campaign for a picky client. No result. Let me take this opportunity to remind bride-seekers that can help you develop and attractive profile without misrepresenting you, pass this information around, post it on relevant site etc. I can **orient** you about the likely outcome. In no way can I promise you'll find what you are looking for. Further, given the nature of your search it is not likely that any specific effort will get you "the result". My humble assistance may raise your chance a bit, no more.
