He was born in the ancient Russian lands of Veliky Novgorod, and almost all his life he spent in Ukraine, in Kharkiv. Anatoly Nasedkin absorbed his childish love for his native countryside, green meadows and birch woods, winding shores of the Lake Ilmen and the River Seversky Donets."Happiness is when people understand you, when you realize that your work is consonant with the time ..."
