Not a nickname. A job title.
At our get-togethers Yury is in charge of strategy - he fries the draniki.
He has a helper - a modern “Zhuravinka” grater - and a griddle (a very professional frying surface).
This guy represents the entire world of potato diplomacy. Yury’s startup is funded by potatoes, oil and enthusiasm. Investors are still thinking it over.
