My name is Peter Isotalo. I was born in Moscow in 1980 and I grew up in both Sweden and the Soviet Union. My family settled in Sweden in 1990 and I consider myself to be culturally and linguistically a Swede. I used to speak Russian as a second language, but it fell into disuse after moving from Moscow, so it's rather rusty now.
I live in Jakobsberg, a suburb of Stockholm in the municipality of Järfälla. I've completed two terms of linguistics, two terms of Mandarin, one term of ethnology and three terms of history at Stockholm University. I have a bachelor's degree in history and I am aiming to get a master's degree eventually. Before my university studies I took high school courses in Japanese, German, Spanish, Latin and Russian. I have also done some work as a freelance translator and subtitler.
I previously went under the handle user:karmosin, so any edit history prior to October 30 2005 can be found here.
