Should we make some conclusions regarding this year? Do you usually sum up the passed year? Do you make plans for the upcoming year? Please, write in the comment section! When it comes to me, I have to say that I did not really make either any conclusions or upcoming plans. I was pathetically moving… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🎉🎀🤗 My most memorable Christmas moment was probably 10 years ago. It was my first year in Finland, and my mom came to visit me. We planned to cook a nice dinner, and we made a long shopping list for that. My mother wanted to do shopping already on December, 23. I assured… Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Music and Movies in 90s Russia
Here is the last but one post on the 90s Russia. 90s definitely brought a lot of diversity in all possible senses of this word. I don't think I am able to fit even 1/100 in this post, yet, there will be some overview on music and movies. First, let's have a flash back to… Continue reading Music and Movies in 90s Russia
Food Trends in the 90 Russia
Like I have already written in one of the posts, there were not much food choice in the shops. In addition, products were extremely expensive that only few people could afford them.

Crimes in 90s Russia
Let's move from frauds to severer things. Today, I will write about crimes. To begin with, I was way to far from it, and all my knowledge on this particular topic comes from TV.

Russia in 90s. Frauds.
The 90s times were the perfect moment for frauds and deception. People were economically naive as the Soviet government took care of all money related matters before. Needless to say, that the previous regime did provide any understanding of capitalisms rather than it was 'rotten'. When the Soviet Union collapsed, people were free to do… Continue reading Russia in 90s. Frauds.
Transportation in the 90s Russia
Considering that the chaos was everywhere, it is naïve to believe that transportation was functioning well right after the Soviet Union collapsed. One of my strongest memories is trams... Trams are environment friendly vehicles, which work from electricity. The keyword here is electricity... Due to severest inflation and economic problems, the tram organisation could not… Continue reading Transportation in the 90s Russia
My Memories of Toys and Playgrounds
Today, I will write about my playground memories. I can't complain regarding the set of toys that I had as all the necessities were kindly sponsored by parents. Though I didn't have that many toys in nowadays standards, it was still sufficient. I had several dolls, some kitchen appliances, 2 soft toys, and cars. Surprisingly,… Continue reading My Memories of Toys and Playgrounds
