I want to tell you about my aunt Nadya in Omsk

By -



She used to be a leading actress in the Omsk Drama Theatre. After retiring she has been living with her younger sister Luba in a big flat in the Stalin's House right on the bank of the Irtysh River in the centre of Omsk. The windows overlook the river and it creates a very special atmosphere when you want to reflect or simply forget about the routine of everyday life. Now my aunt doesn't work as she's 84 years old, but she still obtains her salary from the theatre and receives her ex-colleagues who come to see her with a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolate.They still remember and love her as she was the example for many young actors in Omsk. And you may've heard that Omsk Drama School is famous all over Russia as a lot of outstanding actors came from this school: Olga Aroseva, Yulianov, Dvorjetsky and others. I went to the theatre and watched a performance on the main stage where my aunt spent her last 20 years. The play was not very good but I enjoyed my time there!
Have a look at some photos I made there.

Hello dear Minats! I am always happy to hear about theatrical art. It's really wonderful that your aunt devoted her life to the theatre and was the leading actress! When I was 16 I had some experience to play in the theatre named "Kvadrat" on Poklonnaya street and had several main roles. After having played for 3 years I had to stop it due to my institute studies, though I really had a chance to enter high theatrical school. Now I have also active and interesting life, but sometimes I do regret having left the stage. So, I am very proud of great russian actors and actresses, suppose that such people are worth being loved and respected! Madlen.

My trip to Saratov came to an end on December 8th. It was fine and I had really many regrets that they had a lot of snow there, in Saratov, whereas in Moscow it's grey and sleazy. ESOL people there are really efficient and everything was well organized. My FCE examining on December 8th in Moscow was nothing special, without any unexpected things. Thanks God for that! The best news is that today I've met my new FCE group in school 1359, Zhulebino. They are all pretty young, from 8th form, and seemed to be very cute. We decided to split the group into two ones in March, after our CAE boys and girls have done the examination. I'll tell you more about the new group as soon as I know about them more. That's all for now.

Hi there. It’s a shame, but I haven’t posted for so long! Here I’ll try to catch it up chronologically as this period has been full of many sad and unpredictable events:    Late July - 2023: Flight to Bosporus, area Taxim. Spent there a great time with Olia, Slav and kids. 11August - 16 August: Flight to Jordanville convent to say ‘Good Bye’ to my dearest aunt - Mother Anna. She was about to pass away. This took place on August 17, just after my leaving. Thanks God I managed to see her for 2 days and talked to her, even though it was really difficult for her.. Before that (in April 2023) Olia, David and kids visited Mother Anna. She looked much better at that time - see their photo. Next to this pic, there is my photo with her, which was taken in 1956. . Early October 2023: our flight to Belek Turkey with our friends - Lara and Sasha: it was a nice chance to distract from grievances we experienced in August. At the same time Slav started investing money into building a new chu...

Dear all. It was a really busy time in my life as within one week I had so many events one by one. First, I had my aunt Irina and my daughter Olga together in my small flat visiting on the occasion of our Dad's 55th anniversary. The occasion itself took place on July 3d in a small cafe called "Gusar" not far from "Kakhovskaya" metro station. The cafe belongs to Stanislav's friend from Dagestan, Aldemir, and, as you can imagine, everything was perfectly organized with exclusive manu (Georgean and European food) as well as professional girls-dancers. They performed every 5-10 minutes and were so gorgeous and amazing that even the oldest among our guests (people over 70) could not help dancing and enjoying themselves as kids. I was really happy as I could see my family reunion: daughters - Marina and Olga, grandson - Stas, he's 16, and my dearest and nearest husband Stanislav altogether. He was, definitely, the highlight of the day, but the girls- dancers o...
