About Me
- Name: Ilya Shambat
- Location: Vienna, VA, United States
I came to USA from Soviet Union at age 12, and at age 18 finished University of Virginia. In my adult life I worked in software industry, traveled around America, studied different conceptual systems, translated a large body of Russian poetry, worked and volunteered in a variety of capacities, published a poetry book called Poems to Julia and wrote significant amounts of essays and poetry on different themes. In October 2006 I moved to Australia to marry Melanie Coutts, and on July 25, 2007, Melanie gave birth to an amazing little girl named Lillian Shambat. My poetry can be seen at https://sites.google.com/view/ilyashambatpoetry/. My translations of Russian poetry and songs can be seen at https://sites.google.com/view/ibshambattranslations. My essays on various subjects are at https://sites.google.com/site/ilyashambatthought. I hope you enjoy my work.
