Dear all,

Now, that one months has already passed since Stephan was born, I can share with you some of my current news. First of all, the day after tomorrow we're going to bless Stephan in God's name Stephan (Yarushevich). This Saint (Stephar Yarushevich) was a martyr at the Soviet Gulag Camp System which destroyed millions of innocent people, including priests and other noble and good Russians. He was shot in Kazakhstan in 1937 and was announced the Saint in 2000 at the Christ the Saivor's Cathedrial. I hope this very Saint will support our Stephan throughout his life. The God's Mother is going to be Lena (Pugovkina), my cousin, and the God's Father is going to be Michael, Konstantyn's firend. Both of them are religious and this is the point.
Secondly, we're flying Delta to SF USA on July 24th. We got our visas and that's it!!!
Bye for now and looking forward to seeing some of you.
Have a look at me at the Kadashevskaya embankment where I've had classes recently. The background is good. It's the very center of Moscow...

Oh, I must say time is really flying here. We're leaving for Hanoi tomorrow and tonight I'm sending the last post from this splendid but a bit weird place - Long Hai (a tiny village near our hotel). The thing is that here I really first realized what the tropical climate is like: sudden downpours, sunny spells, thick fogs, starless nights and the last but not least - sand bugs, Yes, they are microscopic, living on sand and flying only to eat human body ( I've been eaten all over while lying on the beach with a book). Now my body is spotted and no ointment helps to stop itching. I had no such problems during my previous visits so I guess the very southern part of Vietnam is not really good for me. Strange as it may seem, but Stanislav doesn't have any problems and seems to be really unwilling to get back to work in Hanoi, Well, now a few words about fun - today we've been to a place called Binh Chau "Hot Springs & Mud Baths". It's different from N

Hey there. Many things have happened over this period.          From 22 to 26 of June we had visited Dagestan- Derbent. There we spent a really great time traveling and seeing our best friends - Aldimir and Tanya. We stayed in the same hotel and even saw a Peter’s the Great museum in Derbent. Here are some pics: On July 8 we had a huge anniversary at the restaurant “Kavkazdkaya plennitsa”, where Slav gathered 75 people  From his company ITP  and his students. It was Slav’s 70th anniversary. It was so funny and successful that all guests were really happy. Among them my sister Nana and nieces who flew to Moscow for this very purpose. Here are some pics: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0eepaE9PvivEoS0iCY0t1ZYHA And the last great event took place on July 18  - we flew to Istanbul Turkey where spent one week with Olia and kids looking around and enjoying our time together. It’s a very busy city where streets are narrow and lots of cars. Love and hugs to all my dearest and nearest.

Hey there, It's been long since I posted last time.  The early April was bright and sunny with the Easter Day and Palm Sunday also bright and beautiful Below there are some pics about these days with Stepan. Marina and the Donskoi monastery: The late April was also sunny and bright. I had my girls sent to the exam CAE and it was great as in the current military situation in Russia this was really hard to realize. In the late April we flew to our beloved Turkey (Kemer Beldibi). We love mountains and the sea there. However, the best news of April was Dimochka, Michael and Lena's trip to Mather Anna and after that Olia's, Yanochka's, Kai's and David's visit to Mother Anna. It was so good of my American nearest and dearest!!! Mother Anna was happy to see them all. Now, many hugs and kisses to all of you. We miss you all!!!
