Another business trip for An-124-100 resource extension started on Oct 14. Like a previous one, this time we arrived to Ulyanovsk. I should admit, that it’s much better here now than in winter. Sun is shining bright, streets are covered with colorful leaves and cheerful children are running along the wide streets.

No changes
The last time I visited the state medical facility about 5 years ago and still have bitter feelings about it. However we are regularly going with the son to the pediatrician office in a state medical center, and there is not perfect, but conditions are rather decent. So, I decided to visit my adult center […]
Dumb & Dumber
Once again, Kremlin is making Pokerface, saying a wide range of nonsense statements, starting from “Navalny forgot to eat his breakfast”, to “You don’t have proofs it was us”. Meantime, it is clear that the Russian government is very afraid of upcoming troubles in the economy and does everything to keep control over the country.
Sochi
This year we decided to have a vacation inside the country. And drive to Sochi by car. It was the most flexible option in this unpredictable time.

Go 4 zero
Yesterday was another show in Russian parliament, when former soviet astonaut Tereshkova proposed to allow Putin to go to another election after 2024. There was not a huge surprise that current regime would do everything to stay in power.
Win-win desicion
At a first glance Navalny loose presidential campaign at the very beginning: Central Election Committee refused to register him due to his felony sentence. At the same time for Kremlin it could look like the signs of fear that Navalny will defeat Putin during the campaign.
Pre-election fun
I can tell you that I love Stephen Sackur, an interviewer form the BBC. In his program he is asking his guests so uncomfortable questions in so straightforward way, that there is little room for them to escape from answering them. In one of his latest program he invited Ksenia Sobchak to talk about her […]
