Couple of days ago, when Georgian Army, recently very well trained by American instructors, invaded into South Ossetia and started to bomb Tszhenvalli, the capital of this small republic, was the worst event that could be happened on the magic day of August 08, 2008 and made upset everybody in World who was looking for opening of Olympic in Beijing. In South Ossetia, the breakaway republic from Georgia, were peacemaking soldiers from both countries Georgia and Russia who served there to keep stability in region.. Recently Saakashvilly promised to make only peaceful negotiations, but he didn't kept his words and under great protection from US and NATO started aggressive act against Ossetians - civilians, kids, women, old people and used really Nazi methods to take Sou...

This week I have been working with my repeat client, Guy Norton from London, who makes frequent business trips to Moscow, and works with banks to collect information for Euroweek, the newspaper of the global capital markets. Today, on this magical date with the combination of the '8' digit (which is especially magic and lucky for the Chinese :-)) my client had only a couple of meetings at the beginning and end of the workday, so he had a lot spare time between his meetings, and asked me to take him to visit some parks and famous places (sightseeing tours). Since he has been here many times, and I have of course already shown him the main sights of Red Square, the Kremlin, and Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and he was not interested in spending the day in museums,...

On the evening of the quarterfinals of the European Championship, I was providing a "Moscow By Night" tour for my current clients, four ladies from Seattle in the USA. We started our tour right before the game at 10:30 p.m. local time. Of course, I wanted to hear this game and asked my clients if they wouldn't mind if I turned the radio to a very low volume to be able to hear if the Russian team would win the match in Basel. After our team beat Sweden on June 18th and went into the quarterfinals of Euro-2008, it was already an historical event of the last twenty years. This would be difficult because the Dutch team was the favorite to win.
Roman Pavlyuchenko's goal at the 56th minute of the game gave hope to the millions of Russions who watched the game thi...

From May 20 till 22 I provided services for my client from London who came to Moscow with his friend from Poland and father-in-law from Israel to support their favorite team Chelsea against Manchester United in UEFA Champions League Final that took place in Moscow on May 20th. Upon their arrival to Moscow, they checked in to their hotel and relaxed a little a bit after flight. That evening, we went on a night tour of Moscow. I was pleased to see how much they enjoyed Moscow. They told me that they not expected Moscow to be such beautiful city because in West, they tell only negative news or even no news at all about Russia. We took several pictures on the Red Square and Sparrow Hills where you can see great panorama of the main sport stadium (sport arena) in Moscow,...

Last weekend my wife and I had a great time on a bus tour to the region known as the Golden Ring of Russia. We visited the cities of Yaroslavl and Kostroma. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather, it was sunny with small puffy clouds for almost the whole weekend and I took a lot of interesting pictures during the tour which was a gift from my wife to me for my birthday. Honestly, it was my first time in these cities for they are located quite far from Moscow (Yaroslavl - 250 km and Kostroma - 330 km) and I had not previously any requests from my clients to organize and provide the long distance tours to visit these ancient towns. The cities inside "The Golden Ring of Russia" include Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Suzdal, Vladimir, Muro...

The picture of "Belarussky railway station" I took quite long time ago (in May 2004) and now I think that it can perfectly fit to finish my recent story about the case with wrong parking that I started to tell you several days ago. You can read the first and second part of this story here:
"A case with wrong parking (Part I)"
"A case with wrong parking (Part II)"
...A short time later, after seeing my wife off to her work at the hospital very early in the morning (7 am) and while it was still night in Austria, I went downtown to take some interesting photos during the last repetition of Victory Parade on the Red Square I met on Tverskaya street one photographer from Minsk (capital of Belorussia) and one from St. Petersburg and during the parade was able to rela...

Note: Beginning of the story you can read here: "A case with wrong parking (Part I)".
… On May 4th about 5 PM, after seeing off my Austrian clients, Rupert, Alexandra, Victor and Jana, at Domodedovo airport, I was able to quickly get a ticket and catch the "AeroExpress" train which goes to Paveletsky railway station in the center of Moscow within 45 minutes. On the way to Moscow I was very upset about the situation with my car which caused unexpected trouble for my clients and ruined their happy mood at the end of their Moscow adventure. It was the first time in my life when my car was towed and impounded to a special parking "jail" by traffic police. It would not have been as bad if my client's luggage was not inside the trunk of my car and/or we had a bit more...
