Today I've been at a farewell party of my ex-Ss who I thought for 2 years. They (Yana Naumova) invited me to the HSE concert Hall where they were given their diplomas and congratulations from teachers and admins. It was really moving as all of them have become mature and rather serious. Many will go on studying here in HSE, but many are going to continue studies in Holland , Germany, USA (SF) etc. It's a happy and sad moment as I don't think many will stay in Russia. Anyway, good luck to all of them...

Hey there, It's really nice weather in Moscow these days. We're at dacha looking at our new pool and funny Stepka who's going to be 2 years old on June 15. Marina and Kostya bought him a toy house and he's busy settling in it. It looks like a house and is big enough for Stepka to get in and out. The pool is now a blue plastic tub 70 cm in depth and 3m in length. We've put 20 fish in it so now it's funny to see them swimming there. This summer we have lots of moscitos, unlike previous years. They are biting all of us and Stepka. But he doesn't seem to notice it... Love and hugs to you... Take care.

Hey, there, I have examined for 3 days: Fraday (Moscow) Saturday (Saratov) and Sunday in Moscow again. This busy schedule I had to do as one of the examiners fell ill and I had to cover for her. So 2 nights on trains were not so easy and now I'm exhausted. Anyway, I saw nice kids and met my old friends in Saratov, so I don't want to complain. I had my photo made near Russian novelist Gogol' so you can see that I'm smiling and happy. Nothing to complain about, it's not like me.Our little Stepochka is very funny too and he makes me smile when I look at him... Take care and remember us... Love
