As for the Absolut, Igor said they had better vodka in Russia but the brands he liked weren't sold in Halifax. He considered Absolut to be the quality/value point for what he could get over here.

Reviving this ancient topic to tell anyone interested that Natasha has just become a grandmother! She emailed this morning. I'm finding it a bit difficult to take in. Forever, she will be that young woman whispering into my ear.

 

She also mentioned that she hasn't had cabbage and gristle stew for years, but has fond memories.

Good on the contact. Most I know are super spread about and years can go by but connections remain. Remember when the only contact was thin sorta blue envelopes that told you "from overseas"

Was it actually 4 years since you went back?

Seems like last year.

I went back to the UK last year as documented here. but the original plan was much older. That got cancelled. I haven't been back to Russia since it was still the USSR.
