: Your job is actually your passion ...
EG : I love my work , I take all my gadgets with me even when I go on vacation . This business is a pleasure , no matter how much effort it takes .
: Do you have other hobbies ?
EG : I love cars , beautiful mechanics … I am also passionate about shooting . This sport requires concentration and skill . I find it relaxing . I used to practice combat sports as well , but I don ’ t have time now . I also like puzzles a lot ( yes , that we understood … — НМ ).
Another one of my passions is wolves . You can see them everywhere on the walls — drawings , paintings and photographs . I love the philosophy behind this animal . I admire how a pack of wolves operates . The elders lead the way , females and cubs follow . The young males look after them all . An indestructible way of life and mode of functioning ! I consider myself a pack leader , always defending my team .
: Have you had any difficulties in life ?
EG : Of course , like everyone else . I have experienced times of doubt and questioning . But I have always been surrounded by my family and friends . I made a Russian proverb my motto : ‘ Falling is permitted , rising is compulsory ’. I love tattoos . Every time I have a big problem in my life , a new tattoo reminds me not to make the same mistakes . We must not forget where we come from .
: Are you religious ?
EG : Yes , I am a Catholic and I believe in good and evil .
: What about your private life ?
EG : I have known my partner , Stéphanie , for two years . We have things in common : she flies drones , loves photography and has a strong character , like me . I am not somebody that is easy going . You have to put up with me ! But she is able to stand up to it . We have planned to get married , but you have to take it easy and be sure of your choice .
: Do you want children ?
EG : Maybe one day , why not ? But I ’ m a kid myself , so it ’ s going to be complicated !

: What do you think is most important in life ?
EG : Being happy in your professional and love life . And above all , being able to carry out your dreams .
: Speaking about dreams , do you have one ?
EG : I have millions of them , even though I have already achieved quite a lot . Today I have a job that I enjoy , a great team , amazing parents , a companion I love and thousands of toys . What more do I need ? As long as you are healthy , everything else is just a matter of opportunities that may arise . Our philosophy is based on two pillars : ‘ Your imagination is your only limit ’ and ‘ The one who dares , wins ’!
