Hey there, it's still cold and grey in Moscow, but Easter is coming!!! I examined near Saint Tatiana's Church on Bolshaya Nikitskaya and took a photo of it. It's a great place full of ex-MSU graduates even among prists and church goers.Tatyana is the Saint patron of students. It's a real pity I live quite far from the place, which is just in the heart of Moscow. Well, Stepan with his Granny and Marina and Kostya visited us on Sunday. They are moving to their old wooden house next to our dacha in early May when we'll be staying in Vietnam till May 14. Looking forward to the sun and warmth of the country...Love and hugs to all of you.

Dear all, It's been a long way to fix the problem with hacker's attack and break-in my hotmail.com box. But now it's, hopefully, over thanks to Olia and some other knowledgeable people who supported me and helped me with advice. Now my hotmail has been reset with a new password. However, a few of my contacts, who are Real Friends, responded to the 'False Emergency' emails spread around by hackers as I was unable to use my hotmail over this period of time. They made my old password unrecognizable and corresponded with my contacts asking for money. Now that everything is over, I do apologize for all the trouble caused and hope to stay in touch with you. Change your passwords every 3-6 months as it's really very important for safety. Well, it's still windy and snowy in Moscow, spring doesn't seem to be coming. Our small pieces of forest around dacha look miserable after all those mishaps we'd had during this winter. Love and hugs to all of you.

Hi, Today I got tons of telephone calls from my friends and relatives from all over the world with one question: "Are you OK?". The thing is that scammers spoiled or broke into my hotmail box and sent to all my contacts info that I got in emergency situation in London and need money (1.300&) urgently. Sure, many people immediately responded trying to check if I really need help by telephoning me. Shame...I'm sorry for that and do keep in touch with me via my gmail.com, yandex.ru, Facebook or this Blog. Hope to stay in touch with all those who remember me:)) PS. My Hotmail box is not for correspondence any longer.

This is my post

Hey there, I've just got back from Saratov. Usual things - examining on March 26, from YLE to PET. However, it was so exciting to visit the exhibition of Salvador Dali's lithography on Biblic themes at Radischev's museum. It was so unusual. I knew that Dali was an extraordinary man, but his vision of Biblic scenes is really outstanding. I was highly impressed. Now I'll start to read and find out more about this period of his life. It was in the mid 60s. P.S. Cold and snow both in Moscow and Sartow, very long and freezing winter this year all over Russia.Love and hugs to all of you...

Dear all, It's spring already but warm days don't seem to be coming. Still it's snow everywhere and night Ts are below zero. All those events in Japan and Libya made me feel depressed but Olia sent me a few funny pics which really entertained me. They are of our staying at NYC and Michael's (Olia's bro) staying in SF these days. I'm really happy they keep good relationships and hope it will help and support them throughout their lives. Love and huds to all of you...Take care

Hey, there, Today was the first very sunny spring day with temperature +4C and sun shining so bright that I had to wear sunglasses. We walked around for a while then we had Marina, Kostya and Stephka visiting till 5 pm. Stephka is very funny but a bit wild as he wants to kiss you but then hit your nose...Probably it's because he's always with another Granny and doesn't see many people around. Anyway, good news is that Stas is on cloud nine after getting his gift- iPAD, which we brought from America. Tha's what I wanted him to feel... Love and hugs to all of you...

Hey there, Today I've had my last class with school children who're sitting FCE tomorrow and day after - March 11/12. They are very nervous as well as I'm a bit dizzy and sleeppy after just getting back from America. Anyway, we had a long session and I said I'd keep my fingers crossed for them. I love this class as they are funny. Promise to publish some American pics soon. Now - no time. Love and hugs..

Time flies... It is really so and here I'm sitting at the Affinia lobby waiting for taxi to JK airport and fly to Moscow. We spent really good time here with Olia and Nun Anna, Lots of fabulous pics are here to keep the memory right.I'll post them later as now don't know how to post from my iPad. It's a great pity:)) Love and hugs to all of you...

Hey there, I'm here in Affinia hotel on the corner of 3d Avenue and 50th street, just 5 min walk from UN complex at east midtown Manchatten. The view from the window is amazing. We live on 18th floor so much can be seen around. Olia is with us and Nun Anna (my aunt) is coming tomorrow. We'll pick her up from Novo Diveevo convent in New Jersey tomorrow, I'll try to post some pics later on as I've got my netbook with limited functionality, so posting pics is more complicated that usual. Love and hugs to all of you who remembered my birthday.

Well, it's been a week since the terrible blaze next door to dacha. We spent there weekend and got back to Moscow on Sunday. The house is a big ruin and only Rokki, the dog, is barking, hiding himself in a garage, which didn't suffer. The family are living in a small flat in Bukovo but it has been uninhabited for 10 years(the owners live in Moscow)and now poor people need to pay money to repairmen for putting running water, gas etc....It's really very cold these days in Moscow and we decided not to stay at dacha till Monday. The good news is that we saw Marina, Stephan and Stasik in Dzerzhinsky (where they rent a flat) on our way home. Have a look at some pics.Stephan is always very serious boy...

It happened yesterday at 6pm. I noticed some clouds in the sky but thought that might be blizzard, as it's been pretty cold in Moscow recently. But then Stanislaw cried "Irina's house in on fire!!!' We rushed to collect our documents and valuables as her house is just next to ours. Thanks God Fire Bruigade arrived and managed to put it down in 2,5 hours, It's in ruins now. We allowed poor people stay at our dacha until they find the way to live somewhere. God blessed us... Love and take care

Hi there, It's been long since I last posted sth but there was nothing special happening in my life. The most enjoyable experience was our visit to the musical 'Violets of Montmartre' at Hermitage Garden. It was so good that I fell in love with all those young actors and actresses performing in it. They are really great and I'm happy we still have such talents in Russia. It's been very snowy and cold in Moscow recently and the snow and ice made some of my favourite trees unrecognizable. I hope they will not die out by spring. Well, soon flying to NY to see Olia and Nun Anna. Really looking forward to it...Love and hugs...

Hey there My Name's Day was on January 25 and it was so nice to hear from some of my close friends and relations. The weekend is also somewhat special as we've had Marina, Kostya and little Stephan visiting us at dacha. Stephan is a cute and amuzing boy. We enjoyed him playing around and smiling. Yet he doesn't smile very often, he's rather serious. Have a look at some shots. Another good news is our going to New York on February 26 till March 6 to see Olia and Nun Anna, my aunt staying at Novo Diveevo Convent near New York. If it's possible to see my other nearest and dearest at NY at this time, let me know, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you...Love...

Hey there, It's almost three weeks already since the disastrous icy rain fell down on Moscow and region but it's still here and the winter is in its prime. Many trees died, some are about to die...We've never had such awful weather conditions...The snow keeps coming down covering everything with thick white blanket. It's beautiful but a bit scary...Have a look at some pics I made around my dacha...

Hi there, Our trip back to Moscow was much better than we expected. To tell the truth, we had no delays or any other problems except waiting for 1,5 hour for out Lugguage at Domodedovo. Now we're still adapting to a busy Moscow's life. Yesterday we enjoyed a superb performance of Vasily Lanovoi and other leading actors in a French play 'Frederick' at Vahtangov Theatre where the New Year Tree before Old New Year (January 13) is beautiful and the atmosphere is very special. Hopefully, this is a good start before a new module at HSE commencing on January 17. Love to all of you...
