Hey there, here we are in Odessa, Ukraine, and New year is coming very soon. We arrived on Dec 29 and have been living in Fontain 11 area, but still within the city. It's a beautiful city with many historic sights dating back to 17th century. Though it's cold here, about 0C and windy, we swim in the pool and went sightseeing. Have a look at some pics we made here. My very best wishes to all my friends and relation, we remember you and love you:)) PS Dear Lin Michel from Hainan, we love you, our Chinese daughter and hope you'll come and stay with us in Moscow. Drop us a line, thanks for New year greetings:))

Hey, here I am, alive and kicking dispite some bad things that have occured in my life since December 13, Friday. On this day Marina and I went together to Yaroslawl to collect Nun Anna'a annual pension for 2013. Quite a lot of money. We stayed at Ibis hotel, just in the centre, as in 2012. In the morning we went to Sberbank and got the money with no problems. After that we dropped in 'Rostov Fenift' shoip on Kirova street and I bought New year gifts for Olia and myself. Then we decided to go to Tolgsky monastery near Yaroslawl and took a taxi to drive there. It was very nice there, we walked, observed, took pics. Then in the evening we got back to Moscow by train and I reached Preobrazhenskaya metro at 11:20pm. I was walking very fast from metro to my house when I was attacked from behind by someone who hit me on the head and started to stifle me on the neck. I fainted and when I got back - no iPhone, no bag with all the money and docs, nothing... The rest of this story I...

Hey there, yesterday I had my last class at 1359, Zhylebino region of Moscow with CAE Ss who have already done FCE. I'll keep my fingers crossed for them and hope they'll do well on the Big Day! Love all of them as we've spent almost 3 years together...:((

Hey, here I am, in Kemerovo, inspecting Highlight School. Alevtina and her Staff are doing well. We spent some time together remembering old days at CenterCom. Anyway, winter has not set up in Siberia yet. However, it's December 6. Climate change! Love and hugs to all. Look at me and Alevtina after inspection...:)

Hey there, Today, Dec 1 I got back from 2-day long train trip to Voronezh. A week ago there was same visit to Izhevsk (24 Nov) where I stayed for one night at Park Inn hotel and travelled there by plane. Both visits were a success (TKT and CAE/CPE). Voronezh is really good old Russian city on the bank of a lake. Made some pics:)

Hey there, Here are some pics we took during the second part of Dima's visit to Moscow, November 2013. We enjoyed seeing each other twice bur Slava only once, on Monday Nov  25th2013. Anyway, it was something that I'll remember for a long time and which is better than any social network or another type or virtual communication. Dimka, please, come again, we'll be Happy:)) Hugs and love to all...Lena, thanks for the scarf...Have a look...

Hey there. It was so nice to see Dimka at the 'Painkiller management' conference held in Holoday Inn, Sokolnoki. He looked very presentable and professional and I was proud of him! We had I cup of coffe and talked for a while. So nice to be with your nearest and dearest...

Hey there, Here I'm at dacha in mid Novber. The weather is still relatively warm with no snow and some grass.arina & the family have just visited. Kostya started working on a new rented car. Stephan is going to the kindergarten. They seem to be fine. Thanks God! Made some pics.. Love to all.

It is really amazing both from outside and inside. It's my first time here at the Hose of Music and I hope to come here again. Today we enjoy Russian Symphony orchestra with Spanish guitarist and Moris Ravel's Bolero:) Great!

Мои размышления о прошедшем времени с момента встречи в офисе Google 2-3 ноября 2012г на ул Балчуг и получения звания преподавателя Google и соответствующего значка. Дело в том, что особых размышлений у меня не было, а было продолжение работы как с инструментами Google, так и другими инструментами Web2. Однако встреча в Академии Google от 2-3 ноября дала большой толчок к расширению интересов, а самое главное, к возможности учиться у коллег через общение в G+. Спасибо всем, кто делится находками и достижениями, всегда читаю с интересом и примеряю на себя. Еще раз большое СПАСИБО Хотя я и не могу показать свои курсы и уроки, тк они находятся в закрытой оболочке LMS eFront НИУ ВШЭ, но значимые публикации по работам «После Академии Google 2012» приведены в журнале УЧЕНЫЕ ЗАПИСКИ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ОБЩЕСТВА ПРИКЛАДНОЙ ЛИНГВИСТИКИ : • ОПЫТ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ КОРПУСНЫХ ОНЛАЙН ИНСТРУМЕНТОВ И GOOGLE ФОРМ ПРИ ПОДГОТОВКЕ К ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОМУ ЭКЗАМЕНУ ПО АНГЛИЙСКОМУ ЯЗЫКУ СТУДЕНТОВ БАКАЛАВРОВ ФАКУЛЬ...
