Huge explosions on Moscow subway

Image
Yesterday it was the 'Black Monday' - March 29th, the worst day in my memory. I really had bad dreams about sth terrible the night before the day. Two big explosions broke out on Moscow subway at 7am at 'Lubianka' station and shortly after that at ' Park Kultury' station killing 39 people and about 90 seriously injured and now in hospitals. It was done by Muslim women terrorists ('Shakhids') who blew up themselves in vagons. Mostly young and Slavik people died. The plot was executed long before the Black Day. Our Militsia/Police was helpless, us usual. All this happened on my subway line - a red one and when I tried to go to HSE at 15pm, all passengers were made to leave the train at 'Komsomolskaya' and after that I had to walk for 40 min to reach the place as all taxis charged very high prices taking advantage of this horrible situation. No compassion to other people whatsoever, really sad... This Black Monday was the following day after our Ort

FCE in Saratov in March

Image
Hey there, Just got back from Saratov where I examined FCE with Margarita Tulnova from Volgograd. All was fine there as it's not my first time there and I know the people - Anna and Liza. They are really nice and friendly as well as very hospitable. This time it was not easy to move around the city as the whole of it is still covered in huge snowdrifts and many roads are simply blocked. It's even worse than in Moscow where the roads are cleaned at night and driving is possible. But in Saratov it's much harder, indeed. Well, the exhibition of Mark Shagal - "Biblik stories" was the highlight of my visit. It was accompanied by a young girl as a guide who proved to be both very knowlegeable and a beauty. Have a look at some shots are made there...

My favourite FCE group.

Hey there, Today I got back home at 10pm as my favourite group at school 1359 are sitting FCE on 13,14 March. They are very nervous and so am I. Let's keep our fingers crossed for them as they are really very bright and friendly Ss, who set goals in life and try their best to achieve them, I've been teaching them for over one year already, but I'll certainly miss them just because of their good personal qualities. It is really so rare nowadays... There are also some pixs on the last performance at the Central Railway Station- Workers' Concert Hall. It was fabulous as it has been repaired recently as well as the theatrical group is really very strong...
