Hey there, Here am I at the dacha, as usual. But a week ago I did an amazing trip to Novosibirsk where I managed to see my old Uni-friend Zoya Akimeko. She still works for "Vector", a bio-pharmaceutical centre located in Kol'tsovo, a small town 20 km from Novosibirsk. I arrived on March 5 then on March 6 I did my usual business and on March 7 I was free to meet Zoya and spend time with her in Kol'tsovo. Her daughter Sasha and granddaughter Masha made a cake and then took us in a car around Kol'tsovo. I received flashbacks from my life in Novokuznetsk. Snow is everywhere, snow and ice sculptures and castles in the yards and many other great things. You can have a look at some pics I made in Novosibirsk and Koll'tsovo. Hope you like them. Hugs to all my dearest. Novosibirsk: Puppet theatre Kol'tsovo:

Hey there, Here am I Ar dacha, Looking back to our New Year 2021, I can say that it was a good one. We had Marina, Volodya (her new boyfriend) and Stephan at the dacha and spent it together.  Now, after a couple of weeks have passed the freezing temperatures arrived (-15-25C). Days are mostly sunny and we walk around and go to Moscow for a couple of days. No vaccination yet. WE'll wait and see how it goes. Many hugs to all my dearest and nearest. New Year - 31.

Hey there, I haven't published anything for a while. The COVID-19 situation makes me a bit forgetful and unwilling to write and post. Anyway, the Year 2020 is coming to the end and it's high time to look back at the main events that have happened since October 2020. Let's do so: Saratov (November 21). Before that the Tyumen trip (November 14) was cancelled due to Covid - all CAE candidates got ill and the Centre (RU028) announced at the very last moment. I returned from SVO airport. But Saratov was great! I loved every moment there. The centre was grand as usual. Arkhangelsk . I was there on December 5. It was only because Glenn Hugh was unable to go there due to having no visa. So I was asked to do this and I agreed. I was impressed by the Severnaya Dvina river - my hotel (Novotel) looked over the river and I was able to walk along the embankment. The river is huge and mighty. The city is very old and full of wooden houses. Tomsk. I was there on December 12. It was a brig...

Hey there, I've been silent for a while. There are 2 reasons - COVID risks and living mostly in dacha. Now we're having the 2d wave of COVID in Moscow and the rest of the world, but I did my usual business going to some Centres around Russia. There were 3 of them- in the title. Have a look at some pics, but the last one (Omsk) was the most memorable as I visited the cemetery and the local Vrubel Art Museum, which impressed me a lot. Hope you'll like them too.  Kaliningrad: Kostroma: Omsk: Love and hugs to all my dearest!!
