Introducing Alexander Portnoy, Our New Siberian Blogger

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

CarDomain has members all over the world, so shouldn’t we have bloggers from all over the world? Ralf started blogging for us earlier this year, with his Dispatch from Deutschland column. And now we have Alexander Portnoy writing a new column, From Russia With Love. Alexander writes:

When I was born my parents brought me home in a vintage black Volga GAZ-24 and I think that started my interest in cars. My first car was JDM 1992 Toyota Corolla. Now I have Lada Samara and daily ride MMC Diamante. Here in Siberia I’m co-founder of the largest local automotive community and chief editor of automotive blog vokrugavto.ru. I’m very happy to become a part of the CarDomain crew and will fill you in on everything about motorsport in Russia.

Welcome Alexander! I’m definitely looking forward to learning more about the Russia car scene!

Welcome, Alexander! In that photo is it summer in Siberia? Just kidding, well I think I’m kidding. I’ve never heard anything about Siberian summers but plenty about their winters.

Sweet! I’m a big fan of all things Russian and I bet they’ve got a crazy car scene over there. Let us know what’s going on – it’s better than getting the news from englishrussia.com.
