No, I have not seen the site.
I have this nickname for almost 15 years. I do not remember why.

As a little kid growing up, we used to have books from Mir publications and Vostok publications, I remember. Very little cost, probably they were subsidized and good quality.

All kinds of books and magazines biographies, Mathematics, Physics, History, children's stories, there used to be stories about Kazakhs, Mongols, Siberia...My local club had a good library, it was a treasure trove. I used to spend a lot of time there, sometimes playing Table tennis or reading or completing my homework...
There was this book by Y. Perelman, titled something like Mathematics can be Fun or Fun with mathematics. I interest in Mathematics grew upon reading that.
