Olia and Marina

Image
Hey there, Here I’d like to share the latest news about Marina and Olia. Marina’s cat recently had an only kitten, which is adorable. She gave birth in the late Feb. so it’s very small and cute. Marina is going to give it to the friend of hers. Olia arrived on March 29 for a one week MBF Show in Manezh. She is staying at Metropol and is very busy, so we won’t see her much. The weather is rather cloudy and cool here in Moscow. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Icicle at Dacha

Hey there, Here we are, in Moscow, The new year has begun uneventful, which is good. We’re going to dacha and watching our huge icicle growing  outside! It has become very tall! I’ve been to Marina’s place - she has adopted a new pet - British shorthair cat. She’s really gorgeous and noble.  Hugs to all my nearest and dearest..

Zachatiev Convent

Hey there. Here we’re in Moscow. It’s pretty frosty and snowy here. After UAE (Dubai) it’s rather cold. Today I’ve been to Zachatiev  Convent. It’s become very beautiful and festive after all renovations. I made some pics. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Dubai - New Year 2019

Image
Hey there, here we are in Dubai, Emirates.  We arrived on Dec. 28. It’s very sunny here and the sea is  about 25С. The city is grand but all stone high rise buildings are the only landscape visible from the sea. I think the place lacks nature and mountains. But still there are a lot of Europeans - Italy, Netherlands,  Britain etc. Also shopping malls here are great! Love and hugs to all my dearest!

Baku in Mid December

Image
Hey there. It was a great trip to Baku (AZ019). I was impressed by the city's improvements for better. The streets are clean, the people - friendly and the food - great. The Embankment is so gorgeous and shining. I walked down it and tried to imagine my being there in my early childhood. Hard work!! Hope to come here again. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Yakutsk

Image
Hey there, here I am in Sakha Yakutia. Leaving tomorrow, but today, after NEFU, I was driven around by Nikita, a nice local guy who showed me the old city and the monument to  its founder - Beketov. The city is over 300 years old. The temperature was -35C only. So it’s my good luck as -45-50C is usual here and it’s almost unbearable as Nikita said. Have a look at some pics. Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest.

Mid November in Moscow

Image
It's a long time since I last posted, sorry. Many things have changed and happened. First of all, I begin with the very bad news - Yana and Michael have split and now she's moving back to Moscow. I am unable to judge what has really caused this and I don't want to be judgmental, but I am very sorry for it. I was happy with their marriage and wished them good life and luck. But now it's a shock and distress. Overall, I tend to be on Yana's side, as she was led by him (when he wanted to be her 'Hero'), and he's the man! I hope she'll eventually get over this 'drama' as she has taken everything so close to her heart. Second, I was for Inspection in Baku and really enjoyed staying there, just in the city center (Austin hotel). Will go there in mid-December too. No Inspections in November! But December is going to be different. I also enjoyed Michael Larionov's exhibition at Krimsky Val, where I was with Alla, a friend of mine Love and ...
