- I used to be born in Sokol, Vologda region, my family has been creative individuals.

A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered on the list of masters available one of the best. Her works were for export only.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill only obtainable towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I do think that today the problem have not changed. True inlay available remains only the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified forms of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct wear stream, should never be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- Progression of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the continuing development of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is caused by the lack of a unified style, a kind of layering, that was the hallmark with this sort of art in Russia. We were capable of absorb the best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit can only deal with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,in a position to create masterpieces from wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of various species of trees, the sense of taste, style and skill to post a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry may be called with the names of everybody who is considered a professional in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, produced in design for marquetry? In fact, they may be a lot more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
