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 church in Izmylovo (Moscow), he cooperated with father Pavel, who used to be our priest in Sokolniki



6 November - 10 November: Flight to Tbilisi with Lara and Sasha to see Nanushka and her friend - Dato. Sasha also managed to see the history of Georgian football, he’s a great supporter of it (living in Basel Switzerland.

Now we’re in Kemer (Akra hotel) to meet New Year 2024. We’re leaving for Moscow on January 4.
Hugs and best wishes to all my dearest and nearest.

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.
