6.He surely deserves the tittle of "multi-instrumentalist" because he can play; bass, guitar, drums, some clarinet and flute, keyboard. 
         
7.In case you didn't know he met Ilia Lagutekno through their common hobby, skateboarding. In fact they both knew each other before because they were in the same school. Unfortunately they didn't had any contact then.
        
8. He lives in Moscow but he is originally from Vladivostok in the Far East of Russia.
       
9.Always be Extra Careful with him. Never piss him because he knows karate. He achieved in a few months things that a normal person would take years to achieve. So far multi instrumentalist, karate, husband, dad...
        
10.He used to be the band leader of his former bands...( us we all have noticed Lagutenko is the leader of the mumiks). He was asked once how it feels now that he is not the leader. His answer; i am not really conserned because i don't have to do all these interviews!          ( poor Ilia he has to answer all these queastions that he's answered 1000000 times!)
     
11.He is a computer expert and he likes Internet (hope he has seen  this). He was working as a web desinger in Vladivostok actually...
         
12.He knows english so you can chat to him!!! When you meet him of course...OR! There are 2 very happy girls out there! Elinpelin and     SAZ who had the luck to chat for a second with Zdwig! Yup!No kidding. In his youth he translated some books!        
      
13.His magic gifts got to appear when he was a child. When he was only 4 he could read. His always beloved books were encyclopedias.

14.He got into the rock and roll life and into Buddism in the 90's. He has read all those books like " Tibetan Book of Deads"  and loads of others.
    
15.He thinks weddings are a bit stupid and he can't understand why girls are so happy to be brides. (welll i wouldn't be happy if he spent all my money like the song says...).
    
16.When he took Tumanni Ston in Utekai records they weren't in  mood for recording so he had to push them to do their 10 years long awaited album!

   1. Sdwig has always been a busy boy.  During his youth he was in 3 bands at  the same time. Mumiy Troll,Tumanni Ston and a band called Third Guard.

     2.He became interested in literature and especially in Indian ideology and philosophy after his father had spent time in India for his work. Actaully his father is an expert on submarines.
        
     3.His nickname was given to him ages ago. There are two simple explanations for it; a. His school mates used to call him Zdwich so it stayed on him but with  a minor change at the end. b He used to be a junkie but one day he realized he can't live like  that  so he made the decission to stop. Sdwig means change-turn.

     4.In his old band Tumani Ston nobody wanted to play the bass because they believed it was a boring, un-cool instrument so he took it...Thank God he did!
        
     5.His mom remembers; guitars started to occur in the house when he was a teenager, even though we couldn't afford to give him lessons.
