Hey there.  Here we are, back in Moscow. Many things happened over this time. I'll tell you about them in turns on the 13th of Deceber we went to the huge concert hall - 'Crocus City Hall' to see the new year performance of our leading Russian stars. It was great, even though it was a present (tickets) from out friends from Switzerland and we didn't expect it'd be so good. Here are some pics: On the 23d of December we flew to Emirates (Dubai) to see Olia and the kids who flew there on 22d from the USA. It was great fun to be together after so long beingso  far away from each other. on the 31 of December we celebrated New Year 2023 at the hotel's beach that was arranged as a big stage with tables and screens. It was great and we waited till 24:00 (Duba's NY). Moscow NY was on 23:00 local time.  Before leaving (on January 4), Olia and kids took part in safari park camel adventure. It was amazing!! Slav and I decided to refrain. All was good, but on our arrival...

Hey there, This is my post after celebrating our Ruby Anniversary (40 years together, on December 2). It was in "Kavkazskaya Plennitsa" restaurant, which is our favourite as it belongs to Novikov's restaurant chain and the food is really delicious there. Unfortunately, some of our friends were unable to come because of flu epidemic in Moscow. But all in all, we had 12 people there. It was funny and homely at the place - we danced a lot and enjoyed good food. Have a look at some pics we made there: Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest!

Hey there,  Here I am, at dacha with Slav and my usual duties. First of all, I'd like to tell you about the good news: it's Slav's company IPT  15th anniversary. We celebrated it on October 27 at the place called Vozdvizhenskoe in the Chekhov area of the South East of Moscow region. There were 35 people there - staff with their nearest and dearest. Overall, It was great fun as we played games, sand songs, danced and ate a lot of tasty dishes. We stayed there for a couple of days and enjoyed the beautiful place and walking around it. Here are some pics: The bad news we received from Salome, Nana's daughter. Nanushka got in a private hospital with serious problems of her heart vessels and she was made a surgery on her heart. It was very long and difficult. Now she's hopefully recovering. Salome promised to update us on all the news. Slav sent them some money as it was not cheap. Let's pray for her! Hugs to all my nearest and dearest.  

Hi there, here I am in Moscow.  The good news is that I started working for school 1359. After all those military activities and sunctions, I have only 3 classes with just few children. But I am happy as I am busy and this is the point.  Well, we have spent 9 days in Turkey (Kemer Beldibi, Antalya). It was very good and the weather allowed us to sunbathe and swim. There were no rains and cloudy days, so it was a really good luck. We stayed there from September 30 to October 9. We even managed to meet Alla and Gena (friends living now in Holland and Moscow). They stayed in another hotel located about one hour drive from ours. Now, it is the only way people can see each other...(in the 3d country). Today is Mother Anna's Birthday! I called her couple of days ago and she sounded well. I wish she could live as long as possible. God bless you dear Mother Anna. We love you and need you!!!  Dimochka and Michael,your Mom and Granny is really dear to all of us!  Well, have a ...

Hey there, we got back from Georgia on August 15 and now we're busy doing our usual stuff. Slav is working, I'm trying to prolong my work at school 1359. However, as a result of the current sitiation in Russia (Russia-Ukrain conflict) all Cambridge exams are under sanctions, so I'm not sure I'll have my usual workload. But I hope. We also regularly go to dacha and I had an amazing outing with a friend of mine - Nina at part Zaryadie (former hotel Rossia). I also bought some good books at the Book Fair. Look at the pics. On Sept 30, we're flying to Turkey (Kemer) for a week, just to have some more sun and swim there . Hugs to all my nearest and dearest.
