Creating his works of arts Mikhail is devoted to Krasnodar State Archaeological Museum Reserve named after E.D. Felitsin, where he has been working as a restorer for 30 years.

Several years ago Mikhail took up violin art and wants to create the whole quartet of his own instruments. He believes that it's necessary sometimes to change one's activity!
