The website and Blog are in the process of development. Everything you see now is just an early draft.

Hi! My name is Max and I am happy to welcome you to my site! You can read a little story about me at the link below or go directly to the section of the site you are interested in.

    A little clarification. At one time I took a course in writing skills, imagination and all that. There was an assignment to send in some emojis and then write a story based on that row of emojis. That’s what the row was. And here’s what came out. The Devil sat on his throne in hell as usual . — Have you lost your minds there in lava? What is a bullshit about aliens? — Your evilness… — spluttered imp. — It’s the 5th soul already, which the aliens incinerated by a laser, what’s the point for…

    Hello! If you are an employee of a bank/MFI/tax collector or any other similar “honor and evil”, then this post is for you. More precisely, it is for you, if you are trying to call me, “write me a letter” or in any way to get in touch with me. Due to a number of circumstances, it is more likely that you have questions and complaints about me, some valid and some not. In any case, all of you have been provided with contacts of my lawyers to solve all these questions. As a consequence - do not try…

    So what is NBA Top Shot? A brief backstory. Let me start by saying that I found out about this project quite recently, and as it turns out, it launched in the middle of last year. So, we can say that I’m the same newbie, as all those who are now joining this “game”. I don’t remember which site I read about it, but the fact about creators interested me - Dapper Labs or creators of CryptoKitties. Plus the partnership with the NBA and the streaming-unpacking packs with NBA players. Brings…

    On January 8 of this year I turned 30 years old. To be honest – I never liked my birthday… But anyway, I decided to take stock of my 29th year of life. Yep, it was a bad year (if anyone doesn’t want to read the details, here are some spoilers – it was a really bad year). Now straight to my “super achievements” and successes. Probably the main event that my wife and I had forgotten about at the end of the year. At the end of February 2020, my wife quit her job at RZD (Russian Railroads). I helped…

    This will be a short post, and I’ll do the blog (as much and as often as possible) after I redesign it. I think that will be in 2021. Although, of course, I will write a year-end post. The year is ending and my progress in gaining weight is still as sad as ever. Here’s a spreadsheet of my measurements for 2016, 2018, and this year. Damn! More specifically, what’s left of last year. I lost weight!!! I need to gain weight, not lose it… Holy crap! I don’t eat enough? I always eat until satiated…

    Almost a whole month has passed since my last record. Unfortunately, I’m too busy with work to fully run my blog, but everything will get better soon! Yes, I know I’ve been saying this for 3 months now… Well, now some notes and my thoughts. New logo, new design. These were variations of the new logo, and what will be the result – you will see on the blog itself. True, I do not think I can quickly make a new design, but in any case, my wife is trying very hard to draw it. Step 1 Step 2 Playing…

    I have no free time at all during the last week and the one that appears I spend on walks with my wife. Soon it will be very cold weather and we will walk much less – we use the last good days.As I wrote earlier in my Patreon – with the help of my father (thanks to him very much!), I found a way out of the bankruptcy situation. My property will be kept (unless there are any unforeseen situations). We can say that recently the stress in my life has become much less. This is good, I physically…

    Recently, due to the increasing stress and permanent debt pressure, I’m increasingly starting to think about my project (this blog). What benefits does it bring? – Nothing. Who would be interested in it? – No one. In my dream… The original idea was to create a blog with motivational stories about how I overcome difficulties and get out of debt, but so far I just keep falling further and further down. I don’t think anyone would want to read the stories of a loser, at least on a permanent basis…

    A new post with reviews of the films I’ve seen in recent days. Previous part here. Apostle In 1905, a drifter on a dangerous mission to rescue his kidnapped sister tangles with a sinister religious cult on an isolated island. ©IMDB I already started watching this film about a year ago, but then I watched it with my wife, and she hates horror movies. In the end, we never saw the film, because “sca-a-ared!” 🙂 Well, okay, but now I watched it myself and will say that it was worth it! The plot…

  10. September 03, 2020

    I think you have already noticed – there were no posts from me this week. Apparently, it is because I am a “lazy bun”… Or maybe it’s a prokrastination? It is necessary to understand the difference of these terms at leisure. Well, now, Mini Notes #3. My life Well, what can I say, my wife and I started to collect documents for one of the two bankruptcy procedures, I think that the first procedure will be all right. But I have more and more problems every day. Even in the last days I learn a lot…

  11. August 29, 2020

    So, I wanted to write this post long ago, last week. A post about the films I’ve recently seen, but last week I didn’t have time to do it, but there’s a lot more to write about. So, right to the point, the first film is #Alive. First, as usual, I will put out a story that I will borrow from IMDB. The rapid spread of an unknown infection has left an entire city in ungovernable chaos, but one survivor remains alive in isolation. It is his story. I have already written a short review on my Facebook…

    As I wrote yesterday in my diary at Patreon, today there will be a small post about how I organized my work (if it can be called a work at all) and how I manage to work on at least 8 projects in 1 day. To be honest, I can hardly keep up and have to work 10-12 hours a day, but everything is quite fast and productive. What is the main idea I divided into 4 parts, all those projects and tasks that I have to do. It looks like this: Python (Django) – learning a new skills, learning programming…

    Tuesday will be the day of books. So a little feedback on what I read last week. And I read, or rather listened to it in the audio version, the first four books from Ranger’s Apprentice series by John Flanagan. To start with, as usual, from the author’s website I will put out a description, so that you do not go back and forth. They have always scared him in the past-the Rangers, with their dark cloaks and shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible…

    My life. Hello, everybody. The new post in my main blog, yeah-yeah, it’s the site I consider my main platform where I publish content. I hope that I will publish more and more posts, because the attendance of this blog is much worse than even Instagram or Facebook, not to mention Twitter and Patreon. I need to work on SEO, the quality of publications and their frequency. In this post, I just decided to summarize some of the results of my recent weeks, I certainly write daily notes in Patreon…

    Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking So, I decided that the blog is worth posting all sorts of reviews on books/movies and so on. In general, reviews on everything that I was interested in. Today will be a review of a book I recently read. Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell. Firstly, a description In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we…

    Have you ever thought about what would happen if you had the opportunity to start your life over? Or from any previous segment of it? Perhaps you could have avoided the huge number of mistakes you made or achieved more. Yes, if I had known about bitcoin at the time when I had a lot of it – I would never have sold it then.=) What I’m getting at is that I regret too much about my past mistakes and it’s terrible. How do I stop regretting the past? I have already written in the closed part of my…

    Funny thing is the Telegram Chats. Earlier this year, I created a couple of channels with manga and comics, with the idea: “Let the subscribers talk”. And they asked me a question there, a simple question that seemed to be, “… What makes you do it?” Something I said, went to the dishes to wash, and in the head of thoughts spinning and memories of “How did I has come to the anime…” well, or on the simple why I started to watch anime and read manga (Btw, are you remember post “Write about what…

    Even when I first started to earn money on the Internet, advertising and everything connected with it, I immediately realized that to achieve any positive result without tracking the current progress is simply impossible. It does not happen that you decided to lose 20 kg of fat, for this you decided to run every morning and you have everything in 2 months. It doesn’t work like that. At least a person should keep track of calorie intake and consumption, and at most a bunch of other indicators…

    What should I write about? Where to get a topic for a post on Instagram (for example)? What if I’m boring? ©Max Basev in a fit of panic Hello, everybody. I decided to write another post here but with a little thought about the topic, what to write about? Where can I get the theme for the post? What if there’s nothing to write about? Let’s think about it. I have been taking a course on Storytelling from one portal for a long time (they had a sale for 700 rubles, I got it, I thought maybe…

  20. June 14, 2020

    Today there will be a small post, as we call it in our country “for the evil of the day”. I will argue a little about the situation in the country, stupid youth and all that. I’ll start with such a phenomenon on Russian ( yeah, I think it’s not just on Russian) YouTube, as REVELATION. It’s a genre in which various idiots, instead of making some original content – talk about the content of another blogger. Most often with a negative connotation. And I don’t know why, but YouTube decided that I…

    Does the community form a person’s personality, or does the person choose a circle of communication based on the inherent traits? There are two obvious points of view here: talents and character are embedded in a person from birth, choosing people, he or she seeks to make up for missing skills or find support; people’s consciousness and actions depend directly on their community, and the person’s personality, preferences and character may change under his influence. Some believe that a person…

    It’s been a long time since I wanted to write this post, so I finally decided. We are talking about computer games, pleasures, addiction and everything that is associated with these things. Why do I play computer games? The first game I played on computer was “Digger”. I think I was 5 or 6 years old and played at my dad’s work. Then there was “Nebulus” about the funny frog, and then there was “Doom” and “WarCraft” (of course there was “Duna 2000” and “Z” and more), which I remember the most. At…

    It’s a shame to get the donates.=( When I created the blog (maxbasev.com) I didn’t think to try to make money on my texts (on my nonsense). But somehow it so happened that after creating Patreon for my daily diary later I started to have subscribers. The first one was Heather, thanks Mom! And recently there were two more subscribers, thanks to you too!) In this post I want to talk about the attitude to this kind of thing in my country. I’m talking about donation, sponsorship and other types of…

    You know, I wanted to do a post about my daily routine. And generally about the benefits of that very routine, but I decided to google it, and what they write about it on the Internet. And I found this great article. So I don’t think it makes much sense to write anew about “what is daily routine”. But I will tell you how I use it, what it includes, and in general what the benefits and results. How did it start for me? For me it all started with “The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret…

    Shame is a soul eating emotion. © Carl Gustav Jung Part 1. What am I talking about? Have you ever said anything stupid and then been embarrassed? Anyway, I’ve had it. Did you remember those moments a year later? Or two years later? Or even ten years? Why does that happen? I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it a few times. They say, “Modesty adorns a man,” I’m not sure. I don’t think modesty is the only thing that gets in the way. Modesty and shame are not synonymous, but one follows the other…

  26. May 10, 2020

    Well, it’s time to write a little about business and money and everything I love so much. At the end of the article, I’m gonna throw in a few ideas for business at home during all this quarantine craziness. Briefly about business in Russia Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote such a book called “Skin in the Game” in Russia it’s translated as “Risking with your own skin”. I haven’t read it myself yet, and in general I’ve only read “Black Swan” and “Antifragility” from Taleb, but judging by the title – a…

    There are people that live without any goal, pass in the world like blades in a river: they don’t go, they are carried © Seneca Our whole life is built on needs. Yes, everyone sees and presents them in their own way. Some people have dreams in their hearts since childhood, but others, on the contrary, live real life, day after day immersed in the abyss of routine. However, even the second one once had a dream that most likely did not come true. So what is a dream? First of all, it’s the desire…

    When you take a shower, sometimes you get such brilliant ideas that you can immediately hope for the Nobel Prize. It’s a shame I forget them right away. Here’s the deal. I was taking a shower. It was unexpected, wasn’t it? And I had an idea in my head, but I naturally forgot it. It’s sad. I should’ve written it down right away… So I decided to add a section like that to my blog in English. “Thoughts from the Shower”, in Russia this phraseology is quite popular. What are “Thoughts from the…

    Pleasure is not the cause of happiness; rather, it is the effect. ©Mark Manson Hey, everybody. It’s been a week since my last post. So it’s time for a new one. Here we go! I’ve been sketching out a little plan for this message. So let’s go over the items. Why do I want to move abroad? I already wrote about it, so very briefly. The laws in my country are not enforced, Criminals, Low standard of living, Corruption is thriving, The weather’s so bad. The reason I still haven’t left is because of…

    Social networks have ruined communication at a distance and the epistolary genre has died. Nowadays it is enough to click on an icon a couple of times and your message is already reading on the other side of the world. Or you’re on a video call, or maybe even watching a stream together. Communicating with friends has become easier, but something’s missing… The wait is gone Well, there really are no limits to the work now, but the epistolary genre is dead. And Slowly decided to bring it back to…

    What do you think of the business? Do you think all businessmen are crooks and thieves? And in Russia, that’s what most people think… Who can read the inscription on the T-shirt? xD The Coronovirus. The economy. Business and support from the state. In a nutshell, you can say it in a nutshell… All my main sources of income have disappeared. Let’s say, some sites through which I sold various services (selling tours abroad) for % from sales. I think it’s clear what sales in tourism are now… But it…

    A Russian guy who has a very poor knowledge of English decided to write a book in English. Is he crazy? Let’s see, what’s he gonna do? I was already writing a book. Yeah, it was really more of a textbook or even a manual, but it was published. Even in Amazon you can still find it, but the name under which I wrote it I won’t tell you. =p Although if you want to find it, you can find it without problems. =) In my last post, I already told you about the book in brief. In this post, I want to tell…

    Well, it’s been a few days since my first post was published, and nobody’s seen or read it yet. So it’s time for post two! A little more of my “art” In this post, there will be little notes on everything that happens to me and around me. My health Yesterday my temperature went up, and with all this news about the virus, I’m not expecting anything good… All last night, my muscles and my head were really hurting and I’m still hurting now. Really, I attribute the muscle pain to my yesterday’s…

    I thought long and hard about how to start the first post, so I decided not to complicate it. Hey, everybody. My name is Max and I’m from Russia. On this blog I will write about life in my country, about my work, my attempts to move to Canada and much more. And also this blog is a kind of my workbook as I know English very badly and with the help of my “writing” I hope to bring it up to an acceptable level. (I would be very grateful if you could point out any mistakes) At the moment I do not…
