Happy Soviet Year

It is official and very serious. For New Year's Eve, the Kremlin is organizing a party 'Back in USSR' (in English on the invitation). The ceremony will be held in an official residence of the government, outside Moscow, and will be presented by a look-alike from Brejnev. It will gather not less than 350 guests. Another look-alike from Alla Pugatchova (famous soviet star, still very famous and visible now) will be there - I've got one question, why not to pay the real one to come?

Apparently the main host, playing the ex-General Secretary of the Central Comitee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982, will inspire himself with some soviet speeches to spread some gifts to the winners of a kind of lottery during the evening.

Well, what to expect now for next year? Staline kissing the employees' children?

Snow is Back...and back

Be prepared...in any situations.

Back on Tracks

Only few people know that official New Year vacation in Russia takes place from the 31st of December to the 11th of January - quite dephased actually. And old New Year just happened few days ago. Well, not easy for other countries not to think that Russian are lazy. They just start resting a bit later....and they fuck up timings and schedules for December (no motivation) and for January (not enough time left). Who cares? There is always a good reason to let it go badly.

This week was the first working one of 2010. Tough one as you need to update information coming from international, to call everybody to get back in the loop, to get fixed everything to get 2010 starting right...

Back on tracks, grand pa'?

Back To School

I reckon to start slowly...slowly...slowly.
