About
3333 is currently a high school sophomore. He was born in Moscow, Russia in 1997 and lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, since May 2003. He is fluent in both Russian and English and is now learning Japanese as a third language (Next year, he will take a break from Japanese and study some Spanish.) He is currently a student at Stanford (former EPGY) Online High School and a part time student at Lathrop High School, where he plays an alto sax in the symphonic band. This year, his symphonic band went to Hawaii for the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. He has two younger brothers, Ivan (1999, pronounced ee-vawn) and Timothy (2005.)
Occupation
3333 is a composer, linguist, and a Russian spy. (Math is only his hobby.)
As a composer, 3333 has written much jazz, as well as much classical music, some of which he wrote together with his little brother, Ivan. However, he rarely shares his music with others.
As a linguist, 3333 is the author of the developing Bal Dour language. The language is based of Slavic roots and Japanese, with many words modified so they are easier to say, and it as well has many elements from Germanic , Latin/Romance, Diquadratish (another language 3333 tried to develop, yet it failed), intuition, and onomatopoeia. So far, it also has a few words from Turkish and Greek. Bal Dour uses the Roman/English alphabet, while the pronunciations are closest to Russian. In the language itself "Bal Dour" means "fun language." The etymology of "Bal Dour" came from Russian "Балдурский" (Baldursky) which is a a slang word in 3333's family, meaning silly. The creation of the language was originally proposed by his brother, Timothy, in the summer of 2011. (Timothy also created one word in Bal Dour, pouconka (pronounced "pooshonka" (3333 likes nested parenthesis(he got this idea from Kevin Sun))) which means cannon. The word was derived from Russian "пушка" (pooshka), which also means cannon.)
3333 is also a Russian spy and former Soviet spy. He figured out he was a Russian spy instead of a Soviet spy in January, 2012, when he received a once-in-25-years mission update. The update was given to him already in December of 2011 in the form of a Secret Santa present, but 3333 was at this time at vacation, which is why he only received it about 3 weeks after it was delivered.
3333 does not hesitate to acknowledge that he is a spy, because he knows that if someone in America offends him, the KGB (Russian version of CIA) will kill the offender. This is why at Lathrop High School, unlike in other schools where nerds like him get laughed at and teased, his knowledge and wisdom gets overestimated, and he is many times called "super smart" or "fricken genius." One of his fellow members of the Lathrop symphonic band, John Clancy, has been telling his friends that 3333 knows Russian, Japanese, and many other languages fluently (although he only knows Russian, while Japanese he is only learning.) He has also said that 3333 is taking some past-college nuclear physics class. Additionally to all these exaggerations, 3333 is also constantly honored and revered by everyone. When he shared a completely normal and simple Russian dance at a party during a Luau in Hawaii, his band friends decided that this was some extremely difficult move and that 3333 must be a magic man to be able to do this dance. Another fellow band student, Collin Crist, has told 3333 that he is an amazing saxophone player at the point where Collin hadn't even listened to 3333 play by himself.
3333's mission consists of only positive and benevolent actions. The reason he does them anonymously is because of the USA's evil government. 3333 also acknowledges that the Russian government is just as evil as the American, but he also says that he doesn't work for the Edinorosses (aka Putin and Medvedev), but that since he became a "Russian spy" he works for Russia as a whole.
Things 3333 Just Doesn't Understand
Literature
1. Hunger Games. 3333 thinks that "Hunger Games" is absolute trash. Although he thinks Twilight is worse, there are plenty of people who agree, but with Hunger Games, he is one of very few. (Note that 3333 has read neither Hunger Games nor Twilight, and this is just based on what he heard about their content.)
2. Pointless poetry. In 3333's opinion, Russian poetry can be wonderful. Yet American poetry, although it also can be far from bad, it is very often abused. He believes people should have the right to write the poetry they want, but he is amazed that people actually read some of the modern abstract stuff.
Music
1. Rap. 3333 also just doesn't understand why rap is so popular. (Enough said.)
2. Pop. Although 3333 avoids pop, in his opinion, it is much better than rap, even if you take modern versions of it. However, what 3333 really just doesn't understand is why people abuse some types of pop (e.g. Black or Bieber) while having an absolutely positive attitude towards other pop which isn't any better (e.g. Perry or Kesha).
Other Things
Pervertism. 3333 just doesn't understand why there are so many perverts. 3333 estimates that approximately 80% of the high school population are hard core pervs, while 10 more percents are also inclined towards mentioning sexually inappropriate content. Even the next 5% know too much sexual terminology, compared to what they know in other areas. 3333 understands that there are trends at this age to think about this topic, but he still shakes his head at these numbers.
War Inclinations. So many people want war, and it is sad. If people would be sane, in 3333's opinion, then Ron Paul would receive almost all votes. Even Obama is indifferent about killing so many people. 3333 also has friends in Iran, so if the US bombs it, it will be very sad.
