ILYA was born on July 1, 1977 in Moscow (Russian Federation) and has lived in that country all of his life. He is very close to his family, which includes his brother Mike, mother Tanya, father Victor. And he's proud of his family.

It was ILYA's friends who urged him opening personal web-site to tell more people about himself. But ILYA never really thought what he would be so "inspiring material", and he was involved by the whole idea.

That changed when ILYA turned 17. The University graduation created more opportunities. He opened a new word, the word there the most of things are depend upon you, where you can realize your ideas.

Striving to get to the top, ILYA is the type of person who makes things happen rather than sitting around and waiting for opportunity to come to him. He is a very self-motivated person who thrives on a tight schedule... except on weekends and his vacations.

His philosophy: The man's reach should exceed his grasp, or else, what's heaven for… "I think this phrase, by Robert Brouning, exactly mach to my style of life. We are often don't have even any idea about what we are living for, what's the reason to live… So this is horrible! The man have to aspire to his aim (or aims), trying to get good results - for instance: be the best in something, to make everyone (or someone) happy, or to earn more money, to make the things better, etc. - that's reasons to live, that's nature of man."

ILYA used to work at the gym about seven to five days each week for 3 years, using free weights and improve his experience in "classic wrestling" - Greek-Roman's wrestling.

ILYA is a Marketing manager, he works hard and has some professional results: 3-year relevant experience (in 2000), effective working relationships, personal achievements and a lot of ideas. He is also planning to improve his Marketing knowledge more deeply while also furthering his opportunity in modeling career.

ILYA likes: when a woman calls him "ILUSHA" (without the sound "YU" in the middle of the word), just saying that, she really "turn him on"; he likes different music actually it depends up on the current mood, and the place where the music plays - Jazz or Classic, POP or Funk music, riding a bicycle, he likes good-looking people.

This is negative for him: fake, phony people, smokers.

Despite his age, ILYA has learned some valuable lessons. Philosophically he concludes: Stay in shape. Learn to teach yourself. Say "NO" to drugs, "NO" cigarettes because when you do drugs, or the things like that, you'll be selling yourself cheaper and shorter by loosing the respect that you have before and there is NO opportunity.

The most important things in life: love, health, life conception, your family's respect, good friends.

He is single and available.
