my blog hasn't got updated for a long time. during this period of time my computer crashed a few times because of getting infected and long-hour work hours kept me away from my PC. This morning my friend in ths US email her latest picture. She doesn't change much but looks more mature...

it is quite warm and sunny today, what would you do after work?

i would like spend an evening in a local bookstore in which coffee and snacks are available.

What CD are you listening to?

Life is not a joke.

You have to make a way out of troubles and find a new path to a new world.

background music... Soviet National Anthem

The Hymn of the Soviet Union

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

        Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
        Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
        O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
        To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]

        Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
        Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
        O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
        To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
