I bet your /home directory is owned by root (as it should be) with 600 permission. Since you have no access as a regular user to /home, you can never get to /home/borisych
The solution to this is to become root in the / directory and execute:
chmod 700 /home/borisych
There are few cases when a directory should not have execute permissions. Try to avoid it.

No, if /home itself does not have the +x bits on, he will need to change the permission of /home.
as root:
chmod 755 /home
If /home is 700 (I previously mistyped 600) and owned by root, then the permissions for /home/borisych won't matter. He can't get to "borisych" if "home" won't allow him execute permission as a regular user.
Since he keeps greping the output of the commands he's using it is hard to diagnose.... This might not be the problem at all... ;)
