Nikolay is actually Iurii.
Iurii Gagarin that is. for two reasons:
one, he is the first creative i invited for a “creative exchange” with our office here. we met when i was in Sofia this March, and i could not not notice just how bright and prolific he is, esp for his age. and after his 2 weeks working alongside us, not only this first impression turned out to be true, i discovered a rich personality, surprising maturity and an independence of thought in this young man. (plus, i made a new friend, which really beats it all)
and two, he is the first to have “a sit-down” about this and that with our trio at a page. go check it out.
