Today I saw off my client from Canada who likes architecture, especially Russian orthodox churches. She came second time to Moscow and we spent together a great time to discover Moscow Countryside. Each day we choose different direction from the Moscow city and, honestly, I have a feeling right now, that I have seen as many interesting sites, places during last two weeks as I saw during all my life before...
This picture I took during shooting a very beautiful church in Ubory, which is located on west about 30 km from Moscow city in Odintsovo district…. BUT my next pictures with beautiful Russian orthodox churches which is not so popular and easy to get as like, for example, St. Basil on the Red square, but no less attractive and marvelous … will be a bit later… I hope soon...

On the 9th of May, 2006, we celebrate the 61st anniversary of World War II. The fighting of WWII in Europe ended on May 2nd, 1945. The surrender of German troops was signed on May 4th and 5th but officially the war ended at midnight on May 8th 1945. To remember this important event, it was created a national holiday called the Victory Day which is celebrated on May 9th in Russia and other countries. We paid for this Victory an enormous cost - 27 million human lives. This is a poem for you to help you to understand why we became winners, the poem in which Russian soldier is asking his beloved to wait for him in spite of all the hardships:

Recently, my web-designer Miracle Design and I have created a new page devoted to My Dear Clients . On this page, you can learn more about my clients and me: where and when the pictures were taken, types of tours, and comments about me and my services in Moscow, as well as my comments to my dear clients.
We have already made the design, but I am still working with my clients to gain their permission to use their pictures. Actually, it takes a lot of time to organize the info and choose the best photos, and, as usual, it is not easy for me to find the spare time. I hope to complete this special page by my birthday, May 14th, and I would like to consider this project as a gift to my 35th anniversary.
I hope, that it will be interesting for you to see these Personal Moscow Photos and, please, don't forget to send me your comments about it too, it will helps me to continue my work on it!
With BEST Regards,
Arthur

Several days ago was a very big event in my business and personal life, I dreamt about it for a long time and finally I could afford to buy a new car! Many of my clients remember my old car, LADA-21099. It was not so bad and served well for my business for a pretty long time and many of my clients liked it (as a good example of popular Russian car, built for Russian weather and road conditions). But there comes a day in most people's life when we have to sell our cars because they become too old or unsafe, and the rising costs to keep it in good condition.
My business is pretty good (thank you God) but believe me, it is not so easy here to get financing with banks. Interest rates are very high and you can loose about 15% of the car's value by financing it. That is why I saved my money to buy it and not use credit to purchase it. We hope the situation in the bank system will soon change since the Russian economy is rising very fast.
So, recently my wife Olga and I made an important decision to buy a more reliable, comfortable and safe car, the "Ford Fiesta Ghia". We spent all our collected money in on it. I hope that you like my choice. I've already (in couple of days) love it. There are a lot of benefits in this cute car with comparison of my old one! So, it's time to introduce my NEW car:
The new Ford Fiesta Ghia has a luxurious design with an air of sophistication inside and out. Subtle styling cues and superior craftsmanship emphasize refinement that clearly sets the Ghia apart in its class. In addition to the features of the LX, the Ghia has an extensive range of sophisticated equipment including 6 stack in-dash CD player, leather wrapped steering wheel with satin aluminum spoke, map lights, chrome grill and luxury velour trim.
Model/Car Features:
Made in Germany
Engine 1.6
5 Doors
Color: Moondust Silver
ABS Brakes
Adjustable tilt steering column
Air Conditioning
Alloy Wheels 14'
CD Stacker
Dual Air Bags
Automatic Adjustable Side Mirrors
Fog Driving Lights
Leather Gear Stick
Power Steering
Power Windows
Remote Central Locking
Vehicle Immobilizer
PS: I've sold my old car (LADA-21099) today, it has been a very tiring last few days, but fortunately everything is OK. After 2.5 years driving my old car, I feel a lit little bit sad, but the new one is better and I enjoy it very much. It is more comfortable, reliable and attractive.
From my heart, I would like to say one more time here to all my clients from November 2002 till March 2006: "Thank you for your choice to use my services in Moscow!"

Finally I have a chance to write couple of sentences here. The summer and autumn were very nice this year in Moscow. I had a lot of clients and almost no time to rest. This is good, of course, that my business is growing up and I have a lot of new responses about my services too. I am trying to make all the best for my clients, probably, that is why I see only positive impressions on the faces of my clients. This year, besides a lot of clients from USA, Canada, Britain and Ireland, I provided my services to my first clients from Mexico, Holland, Colombia and New Zealand.
I have not have any clients during this week (days off), the weather in Moscow become worst - cool and rainy... so that I have a lot of time to work with many photos which I took during the year. I hope that you enjoy my photos... Please, send me your comments on my e-mail address: arthur@moscow-driver.com. Click on the image (preview of the photo, by the way - this is Triumphal Arch on Kutuzovsky Avenue) to see all my recent photos!
