Hey there, I’ve just returned from my double mission in the late May - Irkutsk (on 24) and Novosibirsk (on 26). It was good and interesting there. Irkutsk is very old (over 350 years) with rich history and lots of old buildings. Not all of them are renovated, which is sad. Novosibirsk is great as usual. I managed to see Alexander Shilov’s exhibition there. His portraits are very impressive and deep. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Hey there, Here am I, in Sochi, It’s a flying visit, as usual, but I’m really happy I’ve done it. I saw the new city, met new good people and enjoyed the Sea and Seaport. Love and hugs to all my dearest. .

Hey there, here we are at Rixos Beldibi, Turkey. Ir’s a good place in Kemer and our second time in this hotel. All is good, but the sea temperature is only 19C. I swim but only a few people do so. We play tennis and walk around. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Hey there, here I am at Guberskaya hotel in Mohilyow, Belarus. I did’t expect this city would be so beautiful and peaceful. I really liked its  museum and the history relating to Tsar Nikolas 2 and his family. He had been here many times and just after abdication. The church by the Sa int  Nikolai has the portrait of  Nikolas 2 with a golden coin. He gave it to the boy whose father died in First World War. Love and hugs to my dearest.

Hey there, here I am in Ekaterinburg on my usual business. It’s nice and warm here, even though Slav called and said that Moscow is heavily snowed. I managed to go by taxi to the Church of Blood and even bought a big candle for the service tomorrow. Hugs and love to all my dearest

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.

Hey there, here we are in Sacramento. We arrived on Feb 22 and were met by Olia and the kids. It was so overwhelming. After 12,5 hour Flight from Moscow and 3 hour connection to Sacramento. Now we’re getting used to the time difference. Tomorrow we’re going to SF where my birthday is going to be celebrated.we have had some nice pics so far. Have a look! Have a look. Hugs to all my dearest!
