Dear all. Bad news has arrived. Died Ivan Schegolev, Lena’s brother, aunt Nadya’s son, he was killed by COVID-19. This happened on April 20, at one of the best clinics in Moscow. His daughter and 2 granddaughters and his wife (she’s suffering from mental disease) are in grieving. We all too. He was only 59, worked as a doc. film producer. Lenochka and Slava (her husband) sent us some pics and links to know more about Ivan. Love and hugs to all my dearest. https://disk.yandex.ru/i/pVp5AnTrvHZTUw

This is a YouTube video made by Igor Chernozatonsky, a former doctor who is now running his YouTube channel on the book he made "Russia Glorious Days in History". The book is a huge volume. He lives in Vladivostok and decided to spread this information via YouTube. In this presentation, he speaks about many historical facts from Russian history, but at 13'58'' he starts speaking about Nikolai Petrovich Linevich, who is our cousin, great grandfather. I think it may be interesting for all of you. Hugs and love from me and Slava. Bykovo, Moscow region, 23 April 2020.

Hey there, here we are, at our dacha in self-isolation. With the evil virus spreading all around the world so fast, we are staying at dacha till May 1. It is our president’s Putin decision. I do my classes online and twice a week drive to Moscow to check our apartment. Not much to do. Marina and Stephan are staying at dacha, too. They live in our old but  renovated house. We prepare for Movers exam with Stephan. We Learn about news from TV and FB 

Hi there, here we are in Moscow. We arrived from Sacramento on March7. Then on March 12, we (Stanislav and me) flew to Baku together so that I could do Inspection in Baku, then the following step was the Inspection in Tbilisi (on March 14). After that, we expected to stay in Tbilisi till Monday  (16 March) in order to see Nana and the girls. However, COVID 19 made its corrections. Tbilisi was closed for visits since March 13 and we decided to stay one more day in Baku and observe it better. It's a pity we wasted money on tickets and booking hotels in Tbilisi, but Baku is really gorgeous and Slava liked it very much. Have a look at some pics of the "Old City of Baku"

Hey there, Here I’m in Sacramento. We arrived on Feb 20th and we’re leaving on March 6th. the day after tomorrow. Our stay here has been great. Kids are so cute and funny. We loved doing many things together. The weather has been very warm. Even warmer than usual. Sunny, bright and blooming. My Birthday we spent at the local restaurant, which was really good. We already have been to SF and Napa Valley. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Hey there, here I am, at dacha after a week of returning from Vietnam. The weather in Moscow is like in Europe now- no snow, green grass and rain. It’s very unusual and depressing. I got a sore throat as a result of  this climate change. I’ve already started my classes but hope I feel better next week. Last day in Saigon was very busy- we met Stanislav’s ex partner and post graduates. Have a look at some pics. Hugs to all my dearest.

Hey there, Here we are at Phu Quoc island, 40 min fly from Ho Chi Minh city. We celebrated 2019/20 New Year here, at Vinpearl hotel. All was good. The weather is wonderful and we swim in the sea. Going back on Jan 9. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Hey there, Today I've returned from Tomsk, Siberia. It was a real winter there. I enjoyed the icy sculptures in the parks and their winter fun - light, ice skating, pony riding sledges etc. Both adults and kids enjoy them a lot. It's a pity we have grey sky and clouds with rain here, in Moscow. I felt as if I were in real winter there. Hope snow will cover Moscow too and very soon. Hugs and love to all my dearest.
