I was applying for mortgage loan and could share my experience with different banks. I applied to five banks: DOM.RF, Alfabank, Sberbank, VTB and Raiffaisen.
Ulyanovsk
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.
Sovkomflot IPO
The entire month I’ve been reading about Sovkomflot IPO. It’s a Soviet-era company with a large number of cargo ships for transferring oil and liquid gas. This year is rather tough for the Russian government suffering from oil price plummeting and COVID pandemic. So, they decided to sell a part of the company.
AMC library
After registration on Litres online library I was very happy, but very soon realized that most of the books in English there are adopted for a certain level. You can get the plot, but the pure enjoyment of the author’s language is missing. The second thing was about the format. Litres allows reading either online […]
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.

Kindergarten
This week was the first time I took my kid to a kindergarten. Maybe it’s a good way to prepare children for school and introduce them to society. However, I think kids are not very happy there. Groups are too big and nannies could not provide much attention to everyone. Maybe in a group of […]
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. It was my first experience driving along the mountain road and drive that far. Though, the road from Moscow to Adigeya is almost perfect: several lanes, signs that […]
Budha’s nightmare
There were several music groups in Russia that were interested in all their life with the internal world. They liked to sing about Buddhism, philosophy, and abstract things. I was hugely surprised last year than one of those groups, Aquarium released Time N album full of scathing lyric. This year, they went even further with […]
Investing in Bonds Course
On this week I passed the final exam at Bonds course and got my certificate from Coursera. This course, to be honest, was just a waste of time. Prof. Stolyarov just read the basic things about bond types and focused the entire course on solving problems about bond pricing and yield to maturity values.
