Translator (English, Italian, French, Russian)

Ivan shmakov

Areas of my interest and competence:

- Aviation (as a part of my everyday work);

- Law (as another part of my everyday work);

- Firearms history (for a change, as something more interesting). From flintlocks and matchlocks all the way up to your Glocks. A good pick if somebody in the book uses any gun;

- Cold arms, medieval armaments, and their use. Familiarity with the terminology, and properties (theory), and practical application (in the form of HEMA);

- Medieval history, customs, and everyday life;

- Shamanism (mostly in central Russia). Because of my published student research devoted to a contemporary Russian poet, whose works are a synthesis of indigenous and Russian traditions. But I am constantly working on enriching my knowledge on the subject;

- Scandinavian religious beliefs and magic traditions. By no means, I am a specialist, but knowledgeable enough to work on the subject with a fair degree of certainty;

- Christianity and Bible plots;

- Theoretical psychology (Freud and Jung), modern (MBTI and such) and applied psychology;

- Stilystics and stylization, as it interesses me deeply and truly. My choice of Exercices de style by Raymond Queneau and its translations into English, Italian, and Russian as an object of my graduation work was quite sensible.

Basic how-to: if my competencies overlap with the necessary ones, you can rest reassured that I can handle the work.

Degree in Translation and Linguistics at Astrakhan State University (2015). Work experience - 8+ years.
