Dmitri Volkov

Dmitri solves cubes at his desk between tasks and writes speedcubing guides that take beginners from first solve to sub-minute honestly.

How articles get written

Every guide on The Cube Primer starts with a real question readers ask about solving the Rubik's Cube and speedcubing for beginners — cube notation, the beginner layer-by-layer method, a handful of beginner algorithms, choosing a first speed cube, finger tricks, and lowering your solve times. Drafts are researched against reputable sources, edited for clarity, and updated when best practices change. Nothing is published to fill space: if a topic doesn't deserve a full answer, it doesn't get an article.
