Igor Sid (Igor O. Sidorenko), born in 1963, is a poet, writer, journalist and, above all, a gifted organizer of international cultural projects such as the geopoetic Bosphorus Forum. In 2014, together with Gennady Kazov, he published an anthology of Crimean poems with the significant title Naschkrim (Engl. “our Crimea” instead of the politicized slogan “Krim nasch” / “Crimea belongs to us”) in the United States: The anthology gathers poems about Crimea written all over the world and not only in Russia. He also publishes the scientific results of the Bosphorus Forum on geopoetic topics, including the Introduction to Geopoetics (Vvedenie v geopoetiku, Moscow 2013).
