Mikhaïl W. Ramseier

Mikhaïl Wadimovitch Ramseier is a poet and Russian writer of emigrated origin (family branches Kibardine " Кибардин" and Kalinine " Калинин"), born with Geneva (Swiss) in 1964. It published its first collection of poems at 17 years and started a infatiguable life of fighter. After an international vat in a self-managed college and Celtic studies, he travelled unceasingly and practiced all the trades: taxi driver, fitter TV, professor of tennis, copywriter, stimulating of workshops of writing or graphic designer. He taught the French with Katmandou, be tourist agent in Mongolia and turn leader in South Africa and Syria.

Journalist and sub-editor in the Swiss daily press during ten years (the Mail, Switzerland, the New Daily newspaper, the Journal of Geneva), he wrote many articles on the defense of the Tibet - of which he is excellent expert - and all that touches in Russia, particularly the subjects little known of the European media, like the practice of the Sambo (martial art Russian of which he is practitioner) or the daily life with Saint-Pétersbourg in the first times post-Soviet. Player of failures of competition, he was regular also chronicler of the Master play in several publications, of which the weekly magazine Dimanche.ch.

In parallel of its journalistic career, Mikhaïl W. Ramseier founded, in 1990, the editions Nemo, in collaboration with Michel Dubret, which published some works intimists with weak pulling, the literary Revue “Slow train” and of the marginal guides of Saint-Pétersbourg and Moscow (black Guides). In 2001, the Nemo editions launched to Geneva a monthly magazine of Franco-Russian information named the Polar bear, whose Mikhaïl W. Ramseier was the director and editor association.

Apart from its poetic publications, its writings are generally in a tendency anarchist-individualist, which it particularly exposes in his book the black Sail, through which it considered the filiation which can exist between Anarchie and piracy. The next announced work should approach a rather close set of themes, since he proposes to explore the history of the Cossacks and the libertarian revolts which are associated there.
