Roman Sergeevich Sidorov (born 5 October 1999) is a Russian Wikipedian and university student. Since 2022, I've been an active user of English Wikipedia. I'm certainly more or less well-versed in labour disputes, English phonology. Some of my thoughts about English phonology are very metaphysical, though.

At university, I picked up some Latin, and French, as for the English language, the situation is rather complicated. The annoying thing is that I've been lacking secondary education, so I'm rather incompetent in loads of hard sciences. Not that my secondary education is totally poor. I wouldn't say so. I'd say that my present secondary education is rather incomplete and imperfect, to tell the truth.

By the way, my French pronunciation was exceptionally native-like, so I'm used to being proud of this fact. My vocabulary was rather minuscule, though. This fact has been incredibly important in my life, in my opinion.

My personal history

My schooldays

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/My schooldays

I attended one of the most unpleasant schools in the Industrial district of Smolensk. My school wasn't a grammar school, so my present education is insanely, terribly poor. I don't like the school, and all the recollections on my schooldays, are quite terrif, even though I was used to painting and drawing a lot in my schooldays. I left the primary school in 2017. I was so disappointed with my education that I began reading classical Russian authours, including Dostoevsky and Griboedov.

I was an average Russian schoolboy, because the crosspatches of my school was used to praising me till 2015. My conflicts with the teaching staff were very frequent from 2015 to 2016. I did abhor Zoya Nikolayevna Smolyakova, my Russian teacher, the darndest crosspatch of my school. Her approach to estimating even approximately the intellectual faculties of her students was so funny and formalistic that I couldn't help cracking jokes in her presence. I really hated literature and Russian grammar at school because of this very unkind and incompetent teacher. I'm not trying to say that she was totally incompetent in comparison with other teachers. In 2017, she apologized to me, so I was very surprised with her words.

Zoya Nikolayevna Smolyakova's approach to literature was very formalistic, semi-decadents, so, in theory, we'd got to read Balmont, Severyanin, Gumilyov, Achmatova and stuff, so my distaste to literature was reasonable and explicable in a way. All in all, she was't the worst teacher, though her unjustice, deafness, her poor knowledge of literary criticism was a great impediment, a drag on the development of my personality. I guess, it's noticeable that Smolyakova didn't read Plutarch's Parallel lives, just because it's totally impossible to be quite unjust after having read about a mighty, severe, heroic figure of Lucius Brutus, to say nothing of Poplicola and Solon. It's also noticeable that this teacher wasn't well-read because her speech wasn't enriched with witticisms, by-words.

However, Zoya Nikolayevna wasn't the worst teacher of my school. The worst ones were the chemistry teacher, quite a big woman, suffering from apathy, and Moiseenko Sergey Eduardovich, a humorous physics teacher. The two teachers taught nothing, so I ain't got no notions of chemistry and physics at all, except electricity. Moiseenko was used to acting the fool during the classes, so the most of students really enjoyed his silly, antiintellectualistic jokes. I didn't like him, so he disliked me too. My face was always pretty unhappy during his classes, so he called me "an amateur of the Citrus", one day.

In my schooldays, I was very addicted to drawing and painting very often. I wasn't definitely untalented, and a great deal of my works of art were drawn with frest vigour, vividness, but all of them were technically imperfect, because I was totally uneducated. My tastes in terms of drawing and painting weren't vulgar, incredibly blatant, because I always hated Shilov. It's possible to find some of my works of art in otvet.mail.ru. This user page isn't my web-site, so I'm not going to upload them.

In my early days, I become interested in linguistic through history. I've been a fan of John Churchill, an English general and politician, so my political views had been very conservative, right-wing and reactionary for a very long while. Only in 2017, I stopped supporting the old international system of colonial exploitation, very archaic and dated political institutions. I was so interested in studying Churchill's biography that I was used to falsifying his biography with writing fictitious letters and editing English Wikipedia.

Smolensk State University

My education

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/My education

I entered Smolensk State University in 2017. From 2017 to 2020, I learnt Latin. I was used to reciting very long passages from the Vulgata. I was quite unable to read Cicero, Varro, various classical Roman poets, just because their wording was too complicated and obscure. My marks were quite good in the very beginning. Say rather, I was honoured with an excellent mark in linguistics by Yulia Nikolarvna Vlasova. In 2018, I began learning French professionally, and, accordingly, I was so successful that my French teacher thought that I should enter one of Moscow universities. I studied philosophy, Late Middle English at my university. I read a lot, according to a set of sources. I've been used to reading and rereading Lenin, Plekhanov, Russell, and Kant. As for literary productions, I read Walter Scott's "Marmion", "Bridal of Triermain", Shakespeare's "King Lear", Christopher Marlow's "Jew of Malta", "Tamburlaine, Part I" in 2018. I was very dissatisfied with the literary productions written by Marlow, so I didn't finish reading Marlow's "Hero and Leander". In my early university days, I used Kachalova/s grammar for learning English grammar. Nowadays I don't use this textbook very often because this grammar is very different from modern English grammar.

My condition was rather burdensome at Smolensk State University. I suffered from sleepless nights quite often, so my health was greatly damaged at university. My former groupmates were extremely cunning and tricky. Their health wasn't as poor as that of mine, so their life wasn't so unbearable. The thing is that my ability not to sleep in the course was much weaker than that of my former groupmates.

My behaviour in my early university years was rather artificial because I preferred using "you" stead of "thou" while talking to my groupmates. In 2019, Vladislav Alekseevich Prokhorenkov became an exception. I was his friend till March, 2020. Vlad's views on teaching foreign languages, his sympathies to teaching Latin at university were very regressive and partially reactionary. Vlad was quite incompetent in terms of estimating my French and English pronunciation, though he admitted that I'm much more skilled than the most of my groupmates, except Ira (Irina Pavlovna Moiseenkova).

In 2018 I created my main account in otvet.mail.ru.

In 2019, Ksenya Alekseevna Pavinskaya asked me how to master English. She pointed out that I was quite speedy in speaking English. I gave her very stupid and useless pieces of advices, so she didn't follow them. In the same year, I read the recollections written by Georgy Georgievich Silnitsky, the professor who taught at Smolensk State University. Silnisky was a white immigrant. He wrote that his father was arrested in the fifties or in the end of forties, so his political and philosophical views were pretty antisovietic and anticommunistic. In 2021, I attempted to delete the Wikipedian article about his shameful biography, but Wikipedians, defending reactionary obscurantism, rejected my suggestion.

In the spring of the same year, I learnt Latin very intensively, though my try to learn Latin was pretty unsuccessful. The point is that my university life was stuffed with useless subjects The worst thing is that they were so numerous that I almost always got rattled. In April, I decided to begin read Lenin's State and Revolution, so this small booklet was completely read in the end of the same year.

In the very beginning of 2020, I was used to buying very old English grammars (Kachalova, Novitskaya) and giving them to my groupmates and coursemates. I printed quite a lot in 2019, so I gave some of my printed novels to Svetlana Yurievna Galchenkova, my groupmate. All these grammars describe classical English grammar, so the order of rules is quite obsolete. The grammars describe very artificial and rare types of Complex Object, to say nothing of totally useless tenses, like Future Perfect Continous. In the same year, I wrote a booklet about Belayeva's Kachalova's and Novitskaya's grammars but I burnt the written pages because there was a coup d'etat in my viewpoint, in general. From April, 2020, I stopped praising and recommending all the classical grammars. In 2020, I condemned using classical novels in teaching English, focusing on the minute things in English grammar, ignoring the importance of accent reduction in professional education. My break with all the reactionary obscurantists of my former university led to the war with them.

In September, 2020, my father and I talked to Lyudmila Yurievna Mastykina, Olga Ivanovna Osavoluk, the deputy of dean, Valentina Sergeevna Kovaleva. The conversation was full of attacks on my personality, so it was insanely hard to behave myself. Osavoluk didn't acknowledged that all the students of faculty had been suffering from the immense size of hometask. However, Mastykina babbled out in the conversation that she wasn't used to correcting the copybooks. She said that she was unable to detect American traits in my former English pronunciation, although my accent in this period was rather r-cloured.

In 2020, I stopped studying at Smolensk State University because of the conflict between the big shots and know-alls of my former faculty, including the deputy of dean, Vakorina, Mastykina. The point is that the system of online-education in Smolensk State University had been malfunctioning, so I was quite unable to study in the course of quarantine. In 2022, I was allowed to resume studying at university, though my health was the main obstacle.

In 2020, I organised an individual petty bourgeois revolt against Lyudmila Yuryevna Mastykina, my former university teacher. The thing is that she was used to terrorising all the students of my first group, including myself, with totally useless home reading, so in 2020 I stopped obeying her in the course of her class. Arina Starovoytova, my groupmate, quarrelled with me because of my uprising. Galchenkova tried to make Starovoytova compose herself, but it was evident that Galchenkova herself tried to hide away her real emotions. I'm not trying to say that Galchenkova is totally double-faced, but she became one of Mastykina's favourite students in 2020. She criticised Anna Korolkova very often, though.

Almost all my university teachers were quite illiterate, dopey, dotty and ignorant. There were exceptions, though. As for English professors, all of them were absolutely incompetent in terms of English phonology. Their accents were partially rhotic and partially non non-rhotic. Their illiteracy was so great that Mastykina, the boss of English chair, was totally unable to differ rhotic General American from non-rhotic British English. All the English teachers have been using Arakin's textbook, so they're just drags on their students.

My groupmates

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/My former groupmates

Unfortunately, the most of Russian intellectuals are extremely reactionary, though some of them realise that the present social order is the great impediment in terms of self-education and self-development. I wrote a great deal of letters to my university acquiantances. Leonid Alekseevich Kuzmin was accustomed to receiving and reading them. I gave Kuzmin a lot of my printed books, so Leonid Akekseevich read them, recollecting the classes and myself.

In my early university years, Irina Pavlovna Moiseenkova, my groupmate, played a key role in my life. It would appear that I fell in love with her in the first year of university course, but she fell in love only with my productions of art. Not that I loved her very much. One of my acquiantances at Smolensk State University was Ilya Igorevich Parsegov, a very cultured guy from Vjyasma. I wouldn't sat that this guy's influence was predominantly positive. the thing is that Parsegov was always tricky, so he wasn't the greatest enemy of university instituations, degrees, customs and orders.

In 2022, my groupmate was Vasilisa Sergeevna Skovoridina, a very tricky and cunning girl. On the first of September, she said that the students of Power Engeneering Institutes are very uncultured rifraffs, so I found Vasilisa to have been very haughty and cocksure. From time to time, she helped me. In addition to her help, Vasilisa kept some of my secrets, which aren't secrets at all right now (my chronical diseases)

The most of my groupmates weren't class-conscious, even though I wintenessed a revolt, "strike action" against Irina Vladimirovna Vakorina. The thing is that Vakorina was the teacher of my groupmates in 2019. In the beginning of October, in 2019, my groupmates expelled Vakorina from the classroom because Elizaveta Gennadyevna Fyodorova, my former groupmate, interrupted Vakorina, so there was a conflict between interrupting Fyodorova, Galchenkova and a set of members of my first group.

2020

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/2020

I'd say that this year was just cursed, accursed, so to say. From April to November, I was overly critical about Shilov, a Russian portrait painter.

In 2020, I created three accounts in otvet.mail.ru, a Russia Quora. After I'd created the first one, I began criticising formalism and scholastics of Russian provincial linguistical education. I was very critical about teaching Latin, reading very old novels in English classes. My critique was witty in a way, but I vulgarised and oversimplified the real catastrophe in Russian education. All in all, all my questions lacked facts, their detailed description and conclusions, so I quarreled a lot with the users of otvet.mail.ru.

I began studying materialism in 2020, so I was accustomed to discussing various philosophical problems in otvet.mail.ru. I encountered the user Colonel Jason in August. Wee quarreled quite often. I must admit that I was defeated with his incredible haughtiness. This illiterate blackguard despised working masses, showed his contempt quite often, so I was greatly offended with his haughtiness. The thing is that this person think himself as a valiant knight. I trolled this ignorant philosopher, using an account with Susanna Reid's face, so one of my former comrades found the story with a female account very shameful. I didn't trolled this philosopher too much, for my main victim was Vasily Shamashov. Using the account with Reid's face, I discovered that Shamashov's ignorance in terms of grammar is just insanely great.

In August 2020, I absorbed Lenin's "Materialism and Empirio-criticism" with great avidity. I was so impressed with this book that I began asking questions, discussing materialism. Some of my questionions showed my lack of knowledge of Lenin's works. This month was vitally, crucially important for my further life bc I stopped learning the Latin language, once and for all.

It would appear that I was extremely inclined to dualism or even idealistic and formalistic theories of German reactionary romantics, like Schlegel. I was accustomed to writing quite a lot about the absolute and the indefinite, though these terms are very amaterialistic and useless. There were loads of very illogical and reactionary thoughts about philosophy. Fortunately, I burnt a great deal of drafts of letters to my friends and colleagues, so it's very uneasy to describe this period of my life, using very insightful primary sources.

Hegel was chiefly unintelligible for me. I asked a great deal of questions, discussed hegelism and materialism with my comrades quite a lot, but Hegel was an enigma for me. I'd dreamed about studying Hegel for a very long time, but I abandoned this idea in 2021. To be frank, I even reduced studying dialectical materialism to studying Hegel's logic. In 2020 and 2021, I was very eager to read very reactionary philosophers. I didn't read them, though. In April 2022, I was very critical about an American marxist, replacing studying dialectical materialism with studying hegelianism.

It would appear that 2020 was one of the worst years in my life, because I suffered from very great intellectual problems. For instance, I thought that art is the most unpleasant, useless and insignificant type of human cognition. It's possible to say that my views on art were quite reactionary and formalistic, for I read Kant, watched videos with Ivan Boldyrev, a very unpleasant philosophical mite. I picked up a set of his fancy and reactionary terms. I planned to commit suicide, to tell the truth.

In 2019 and in the first part of 2020, I was very dogmatical while dealing with English grammar. The thing is that I learnt Latin quite a lot, learning various dictionaries by heart, so the traces of dogmatical latinism were very significant in my viewpoint. The tone of my message in the Russian Quora show that I was very arrogant and uncultivated. In the expiration of 2020, I suffered from the greatest mental pains in my life. All my mental pains were caused by my loneliness, by my isolation from society. The thing is that it's not me who made me quite lonely but the present reactionary social order which devoured human souls.

In 2020, there was my first clash with Valentin Melnikov, a Russian esperantist. My critique of Melnikov was poor and weak because of my very agressive wording.

2021

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/2021

2021 was the least productive year in my life, even though this year was a key one for the development of my present viewpoint. Its end was magnificent and unhappy. I encountered a very complicated problem, concerning accent reduction. It would appear that the origins of the metaphysical problem are connected with the lack of more or less scientific education. The question was not whether it's possible to get rid of an accent but whether we can know all about an accent. The problem is based upon the present labour division, for it's obvious that even the meanest professor of phonetics is able to perceive sounds better than the best worker.

In 2021, I created a new account in otvet.mail.ru in order to disseminate information about labour struggle in Russia. Sometimes my questions were very stupid, just because this period of life was very complicated.

In 2022, I created an account in Reddit, the site for stupid trolls. In my Western acquiantance's opinion, Reddit is rather addictive, but I wouldn't say so. I asked a set of questions, concerning Scandinavian girls, but idiotic trolls spoilt my karma. Unfortunately, all my questions were deleted, so it's hard to give the full set of sources, concerning my battle with trolls. Its users aren't very brainy because their answers are quite illetarate, because Pavel Anatolyevich Skrelin proved that the complete accent reduction is possible.

2023

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/2023

In 2023, I attempted to criticise Valentin Viktorovich Melnikov. I stopped talking to him, because Valentin Viktorovich is accustomed to offending his opponents. In my life, I offended quite often, but I really regret that I should have used a great deal of swearings while arguing. Melnikov is just a troll, so, in my opinion, there's no use in talking to him because of his shocking ignorance in terms of linguistics and learning foreign languages. Much earlier, I blamed him in chauvinism.

In May of the same year, I enrolled in Moscow International University. As my former university, I started writing invectives about its rector and its teachers. The International university in Moscow happened to be much better than my former alma mater in all the aspects, just because there're no oppressive teachers at this university. My marks happened to be much better at this university.

In this year, I was very addicted to reading quite a lot, so I found reading a lot a very harmful habit, so I'd been trying to battle past, get rid of this habit for very many months.

Wikipedia

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/Wikipedia

I created my first account in Wikipedia in 2017. The atmposphere in Wikipedia was much better in 2017. I talked to very polite and cultivated persons. The first account was deleted in 2018. The second profile was created in 2020, so I'd been writing Wikipedian articles for two years.

In Latin Wikipedia, I created nine articles, even though my Latin wasn't advanced. For instance, there're loads of grammatical mistakes in the article about John Churchill. Some of senior users were impressed with my Latinity and audacity. The article about Henry Dundas was uncommonly poor, according to the opinion of American professor, though. All the articles in Latin Wikipedia were extremely short and incomplete for an appalling lack of sources.

I left Wikipedia in 2023 because of its highly conservative policies. The point is that miserable public servants of Wikipedia were very irritated with my 'aggressive ultra-left ideas' expressed in the article about Columbia University strike, occurred between 2021 and 2022.

I began writing the articles about Western revolutionary labour movement in 2022. I'd say that my first articles were written completely illiterately, so I've been suffering from my stylistical, tactical mistakes made in the last year. I wouldn't say that all my articles are totally useless, but all of them are quite incomplete, even though I created an account in archieve.org. Creating an account in this site is very complicated and tiresome, by the way.

I wouldn't say that my behaviour in Wikipedia was ideal. However, I think that my editing Wikipedia, creating various articles was quite precious, even though my articles in Wikipedia are very imperfect in terms of grammar. I wrote about labour strikes, revolts, secondary Victorian novelists, unknown scholars quite a lot. I was used to violating the main rules of Wikipedia while writing the articles. At the very beginning, my violating the rules wasn't noticeable. I violated the rules quite often, because it was totally unnoticeable in the first months, and, accordingly, I thought that I wouldn't be banned.

As for English Wikipedia, I wrote a set of articles about very insignificant persons, locations. I was used to editing my personal page in Wikipedia quite often, so a tetchy Wikipedia warned me. If I hadn't deleted a lot of biographical information in my user page, this user would have deleted my user page in enwiki In his estimation, I violated the rules of enwiki with describing my biography, interests and tastes. it's noticeable that Nick Moyers is just an average American layman, just because, for instance, I can argue that I'm not interested in his very reactionary political views, so he should deleted all the pieces of information about his reactionary views.

In English Wikipedia, I was able to communicate with phonetician Peter Roach, though this scientist said that Wikipedia isn't a good place for asking questions.

I created several articles in English Wikipedia. The most of my Wikipedian articles were written about the native village of my ancestors, its surroundings. In 2022, I decided to write about my former rector but I really regret that I should have written a stub about this bribe taker. There was an attempt to delete the article about this beaurocrat, but I defended my article with great zeal In 2023, I tried to improve the article with blackening Artemenkov quite a lot, so the current version of this article is much better than the previous ones, because I mentioned an arbitrary firing, a scandal with foreign students, learning Russian and being unable to speak Russian at all. I also criticized Artemenkov's ties with reactionary priests in this article.

The hatred between me and the reactionary part of Wikipedians was expressed in my user page. There was a clarion call in my user page which was deleted by reactionary beaurocrats among Wikipedians. The clarion call was a call for the class struggle in Russian Wikipedia.

I've been calling for the most consistent class struggle against the reactionary obscurantist forces of Wikipedia led by Mark Bernstein, the clingiest and pickiest liberal of Wikipedia, I was justified, because reactionary forces forgot about my existence, so I'm still free in ruwiki.

My temper

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/My temper

Some of bourgeois intellectuals, the likes of Vakorina and Kovaleva, my former dean, consider me to be very impulsive. They're partially right, for sometimes I'm quite unable to control my emotions. Not that I'm indecisive, - no! But, you know, I'm used to being slow and meticulous while dealing with very complicated arguments, ideas, theories. Kutuzova called me an idealist, even though I've been the most consistent atheist and materialist since 2019.

Between 2020 and 2022, it's possible to call my behaviour very snobbish, partially foolish. I was used to fighting with trolls, defeating them, offending and even insulting them. I really reget that my tastes, real intentions should have been partially reactionary.

I'm a very lonely person, because it's very hard to talk to my peers in person. The point is that reactionary forces have been isolating me from the layers of petty bourgeois and proletarian intelligenzia.

I wouldn't sat that I'm more or less kind and polite. I've been trying to work on my temper and manners, though. The thing is that the hypocrisy of my university education, the laurels of a brilliant intellectual spoilt me. Parsegov, Pinchukov, my university comrades, were used to calling me "a Latin god", "a philological deity", so these laurels made me a know-all, so I was used to giving advices to Parsegov, Pichukov quite often, because they thought I'm a brilliant intellectual.

My little library

In my early university days, I was used to printing the books a lot. The first ones were terrif, in my humble opinion. I'd been printing quite often and quite a lot before my mother allow me to buy a great deal of novels in English. I decided to buy the, because my skills in terms of printing and making bindings were totally amateurish, so I ceased to print very voluminous books, like Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Hegel's Science of Logic, a set of books on Kant and Hegel written by reactionary and rotten philosophers.

In 2018, 2022, I attempted to read Tobias Smollett, a Scottish writer. I wasn't really disappointed with the Adventures of an Atom, even though there're loads of stupid mos in this novel. I wasn't disappointed with Smollett because there're loads of realistic elements in his novels, including completely unreadable Lancelot Greaves. I didn't manage to read the whole novel, because I lost my book in Smolensk State University.

In 2022, I created an account in archive.org, and I've been saving a great deal of books in my favourites, a category in my account. Among my favourites, there're loads of books on economical history of the West, a set of novels, biographies of actors. Among my favourites, there's "Philadelphia Story" written by Philip Barry. The question is not whether I like "Philadelphia Story" but whether I really find this plot very good or not. As is known, my comment on this play was totally positive, even though I don't find the film extremely funny, especially in comparison with "Bringing up Baby".

As for my favourite books, I'm a fan of Shakespeare, Guy de Maupassant, Gorky, Bernard Shaw, Lomonosov, Kuprin, Pomyalovsky, Gertsen, Sofya Kovalevskaya, Voynich, Gaskell, Alexei Tolstoy, Alexei Ostrovsky, Fitzgerald, Jack London, Plutarch, Zola, to say nothing of Korolenko, Turgenev and Leo Tolstoy. In 2022, I read Veresaev, and found him very difficult to read, but his work on Dostoevsky is quite impressive and unique. In 2019, I read Raffaello Giovagnoli's Spartacus. This novel really inspired me to learn Latin quite a lot. Sinclair Lewis is more or less readable, in my opinion, but I'm not gonna read again his 'Main Street'. My opinion on Anatoliy Vonogradov is neutral and moderate, though his style is quite imperfect, in my opinion, so sometimes I'm totally unable to understand very big passages from his novels.

I was pretty dissatisfied with Oscar Wilde's only novel. I didn't get why this novel was issued in the Soviet Union several times.

In 2019, I read Bryusov's novel on antiquity, Reading was very unpleasant because the author is just obsessed with useless details and stuff, so I was very disappointed wuth his Altar of Victory. In my opinion, this novel is the worst literary production in the world. A bit later, I tried to read Aldanov's novel on the first French revolution, but I stopped reading because of Aldanov's stupidity and dopiness, so I'm used to calling Aldanov 'Doldonov'.

In 2022, I stopped printing booklets and books, because my bachelor flat is just stuffed with various editions, including self-made or homemade ones. I've been planning to print books by Aveling to translate them into Russian.

My accounts

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/Аккаунты

I've been creating accounts quite a lot, so I'm very active on the Internet. There're all my contacts in the below list. The links to my accounts are in references, so if you want to find my account in a social media, just click a reference affixed in the end of sentence.

1. My account in Telegram is the most important account among all my profiles. I'm used to using Telegram very often, so the easiest way to text me is through Telegram. In my estimation, the interface of this app is the best one, so using Telegram is much more pleasant than using VK.
2. My account in VK is less alive, but I'm used to visiting my account once or twice a week, so texting me through VK is also possible.
3. Texting me through Youtube is also less possible, because I've been using my account in Youtube for commenting Alexei Ababilov's videos.
4. I abandoned using Viber and Whatsapp, for I was very dissatisfied with their very inconvenient interfaces, so it's very hard to talk to me, using these apps.
5. It's possible to talk to me in Pinterest, for the interface of this social media isn't completely unbearable.
6. I'm a fan of Tandem. I've been using this app since 2021, so I find this application very good, but Telegram is still better.
7. My opinion on Facebook and Instagram is much worse than that of my countrymen, so I don't use these sites very often.
8. It's always possible to text me in Skype, because I just adore this application.
9. I'm not a fan of TikTok, but it's always possible to talk to me, using this application.

My linguistical views

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/Phonology

I've been very critical about the modern philological education since 2020. In the very beginning, my criticism was very vulgar and partially metaphysical. I was accustomed to expressing my very illogical, irrational, and metaphysical linguistical views in the site for English learners.

I'm interested in stylistics, quite a Soviet science, phonetics, teaching English. In my opinion, modern English teachers shouldn't use classical novels. Using them in the English classes must be legally banned bc of its immense damage. It's obvious that it's important to teach everyday lexical entries, concerning plumbing, cooking, repairing various TV-sets.

I really appreciate Igor Evgenyevich Anichkov's writings on linguistics, even though his political, philosophical and religious views are quite harmful, extremely reactionary and obscurantistic. In my opinion, his reactionary views on religion, state, family were a drag on his intellectual development, including his achievements in linguistics. His classification of linguistical sciences is quite reasonable, but his classification of sciences in general is rather trite, idealistic and useless.

I'm against teaching Latin, Greek and very rare languages in secondary schools. I've been criticizing DeepL and Google quite often, but I hope that my critique is always more or less productive. I'm used to being very critical about teaching Latin and Greek at teacher training departments.

I don't like the level of teaching English at Smolensk State University, Moscow State Linguistical University, because the methods of teaching are quite dated in these institution of higher education, according to all the known sources. I don't really understand why very illiterate persons, the likes of Mastykina, Sapozhnikova, Silaev, Ivanova, my former French teacher, are used to punishing students with home reading and individual reading. It's noticeable that they're not well-red because ignoring Veresaev's work on Dostoevsky and Tolstoy denotes that they're insanely illiterate. I also noticed that Ivanova had been imitating teaching. In my opinion, CEFR levels are quite superficial.

In 2023, I started the campaign against Smolensk State University on the Internet. I wrote a series of references with the scathing, boisterous critique of the English chair in Smolensk State University. The references written in 2023 were chiefly about the dean and her deputy, the boorish, caddish and cocky behaviour of Mastykina, Vakorina, the cruelty, formalism and hypocrisy of Silaev. In my references, I didn't describe and discuss the poor accents of the most of university teachers, though.

I'm very critical about the pessimists, considering AI to be able to replace all the translators and interpreters. I've been supporting introducing AI in teaching phonetics and foreign languages in general. The thing is that only immoral cowards, chicken-hearted bourgeois intellectuals from Smolensk State University are afraid of losing their scientific degrees.

PhoneticFanatic is my favourite vlogger because his description of modern English phonology is quite voluminous. I'd say that this blogger is the most prominent popularizer of phonetics in the world. My former Australian exchange partner from Tandem was very critical about his British accent, but an American phonetician really appreciated his American accent. Alexei Ababilov is less professional and more amateurish in terms of making videos, but I find him quite a reasonable English learner. I've been supporting his struggle with prescriptivism, even though I'm not a great fan of Mikitko Alexseev, a vlogger focused on slavistics. In my opinion, Timofei Sergeevich Afanasiev, the headteacher of this school, is totally incompetent in terms of phonetics and accent reduction. As a vlogger, Afanasiev isn't a mediocrity because his approach to making videos is rather creative: I find his video about the Anglican community in Moscow very impressive.

My interests

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/Interests

My personal interests include acoustical phonetics, lexicography, English grammar, translating as a job, English phonology, marxism-leninism, labour history, plumbing, sawing birches and brooms, plumbing, physical anthropology, physics, mathematics, films with Vivien Leigh, all the films with Greta Garbo and Charlie Chaplin, computing, ancient revolutionary history, vintage books, Russian revolutionary literature. The main interests concern phonetics and accent reduction in English and French , labour strikes and labour uprisings in Europe.

I'd say that I'm not very interested in literature. The point is that I think literature is very important in terms of improving my temper. The problem is that I've already made a great deal of childish mistakes in my life. Some of them were very tragical because I greatly hurt my parents. Not that I'm a very unpleasant blackguard, but my temper needs repairing and improving, so to say.

As for languages, I like learning British English, Standard French. I'd restore my brilliant knowledge of Latin, but I'm not sure wthere it's possible or not. I'm very skeptical about polyglotism, so I'm not gonna become a polyglot. All my interests are confined to the French and Anglo-American community.

As for my professional interests, I'm deeply interested in articulatory phonetics, acoustic analysis of speech, British English phonetics and phonology. I'm sort of interested in non-native pronunciation of English (Swedish, German accents), dialectology ( old-timey non-rhotic New England English), diachronical phonology, phonostylistics.

I'm not a fan of military history, though I just adore "Under Military Law" with Ekaterina Klimova, and, accordingly, I respect the heroic deeds of my ancestors, including my grandfather. As for history, I'm interested in the ancient history and Roman aesthetics.

Tandemians are used to calling me a weirdo because of my extremely weird funny plans.

My tastes

Основная статья: Участник:Роман Сергеевич Сидоров/My tastes

I just adore Vera Lynn, Julie Andrews, Elton Hayes, Evgenia Smolyaninova. Sometimes, Julie Andrews is really weird, but her vocal faculties are incredibly impressive. My opinion on Marni Nixon is very contradictory, because I'm not a fan of opera singers, and, accordingly, Marni Nixon resembles an opera singer, just a smidgen.

As is known, I'm a zealous cinephile, so I'm used to downloading films from kinozal.ru and yts.pm. In 2023, I created an account in IMBD.

In December 2022, I discussed cinema with American petty bourgeois intellectuals. I'd say that I'm shocked with their mean tastes, with their ignorance and stupidity. In January 2023, I was banned in Straight Dope Board Message Board because I asked the users of this site about one of Voynich's novels. In December, I was attacked by the great number of silly, dopey, besotted and addle-brained American trolls who hated Russia and Russian culture. They blamed me in Russian nationalism, even though I'm not a nationalist at all. The uneducated trolls just showed their inability to formulate even simple thoughts. Their linguistical carpings were very numerous.

First of all, petty bourgeois trolls are quite unable to understand my thoughts clearly, even though I've been trying to explain all the details of my personal viewpoint. For instance, in their opinion, I think that all the old movies are much better than modern ones. But I consider Grace Kelly as a mediocrity. Say rather, I think that the costumes in Camille, a film shot in the thirties, was very bad, although it's possible to watch this old film because of very talented Robert Tailor and Greta Garbo. However, American trolls just ignore all these pieces of information, kust because they're a set of miserable ingnorant bourgeois intellectuals.

In my estimation, the classical Hollywood movies were much better, so I prefer watching Anglo-American classical cinema. It appears to be that Katherine Hepburn one is my most favourite actress, because I'm used to asking questions of her biography and her speech in various foreign forums, in Youtube. However, my tastes are overly continental, because Greta Garbo is definitely my most favourite actress.

I've been a great fan of non-rhotic accents, so I'm always using Transatlantic accent (absolutely non-rhotic), RP, Estuary English and Cockney, from time to time.
