Alex Possajennikov: Personal Snippets

My wife Maria makes my life happy. She is also a game theorist and a lovely person too!

I was born in the city of Perm, in what was then the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), in 1971.

I studied in Moscow, in times of transition from the USSR to Russia, and in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

I worked in Dortmund, Germany, and in Mannheim, also Germany.

Currently I am working in Nottingham, Britain.

I like to read all kinds of things, but to keep myself informed I often read periodicals (and to keep my language skills, in different languages):

• The Economist

• Der Spiegel (in German)

• El Mundo (in Spanish)

• Nieuws.nl (in Dutch)

• Novaya Gazeta (in Russian)
