Hey there. It is my 3d visit to Omsk but I keep admiring this city. This time I found for myself Dostoensky museum and was also really moved at the cemetery where aunt Nadya and granny Liza were baried. The places in Omsk are touching and very special.. Have a look at some pics. Love to you all:)) it is snowing in here...

Hi, I've just got back from a very good play Tartuffe by Molier staged at Malya Bronnaya theatre with Victor Sukhorulov , Agripina Steklova and Alexandr Samoilenkp in the lead roles. We really enjoyed the acting and the theatre itself.Sukhorukov  was incredible! On Friday I'm flying to Omsk for inspection. Hope not to be frozen... Love and hugs to you...))

Hey there, It's Kaliningrad's inspection now. I arrived safely in the morning and now are staying at Moscow hotel. It's just in the centre of the city, which looks really good and European to me. I was there some 5-6 years ago and can see the changes for better. By day I went around the local Zoo and really enjoyed it. Anim als look happy and well fed. Tomorrow I'm busy but the rest of the day is free and I'll go somewhere interesting...love and hugs to all of you:)

It's an  October now and the view of dacha and surroundings is not as beautiful as always in autumn. It's because the September was very wet and rainy and all the trees got grey. It's a pity but that's it. Have a look at some pics in the theatre (Zheleznpdprpznokov DK- Filatpv's play - Obychnaya Istorya) and the dacha. Love and hugs..:))

It was an odd place and a magic performance at the basement of the Bulgakov's museum near Patriarshie Prudy. We liked the acting of young actors and the place itself. Now we want to see more plays there. Love and hugs to all:)

Hey there, Here I am in our Udelnaya dacha sitting and writing about my 3-day trip to Cambridge CIU for 3 days with Sept 13th - the busy Big Meeting Day. It's so wet and humid in Moscow now - it's raining non-stop, but it was much better in Cambridge. Though it was drizzling sometimes in Cambridge, there were some sunny spells and the view of the river Can with its gorgeous punts (boats) with people in them and parks with flowers on either side were really impressive. The whole city, which preserves its history so carefully, made me feel envious of those who live and work there. Must be amazing! I stayed in the St. Katherine College, just in the heart of Cambridge, and I could see from the vindow an old neighbouring house wall with Virgin Mary's statue which made it so beautiful and misterious... Have a look at some pics I made there. The man next to me is Wayne, he's from Turkey, Izmir but the British

I was shocked by this awful truth about after Bolsheviks' Terror:((

This weekend, though it is grey and overcast but warm (+20), I've spent very productively. First, we went to Pavel Slobodkin's chamber music centre where we enjoyed Mozart's under Candles concert. It was really good as the musicians were young and beautiful as well as music, which they performed so well. it is at Arbat, next to Vakhtangova theatre. Second was FCE exam in the town of Dmitrov, which is one of the former centers of ancient Russ' and it is beautiful too. And the last joy was my walks with Stephan around the lake with two playgrounds. He's become so interesting and talkative. Good kid...Here are some pics I made...Love and hugs:))

This is our adorable baby-girl Yanochka.:))

Hey there, yesterday we spent the whole day in Vienna leaving from our hotel at 7am and getting back late in the evening. It was a long and pretty tiring drive across the Hungarian-Austrian border and then to Vienna but it was worth it. The city is absolutely amazing and charming. It reminded me about Barselona, with many nice cafes and typical for German counties gothic architecture. Many things in the city are connected with music and opera. In Vienna, there are also nontraditional artists with their own vision of life and its beauty, e.g. Hunderwasser and his strange forms of buildings and pictures. Vienna has many historic monuments to emperors and a famous Maria Teresia sculpture in the centre reminds about Elizaveta Petrovna who was her friend. We had no time for museums but we dropped in a St Peter's castle just in the heart of Vienna. There we enjoyed a free organ music concert. Such concerts are held every day! Amazing city! After concerts we enjoyed Austrian strudels with...
