Envelopes and postcards I received after returning last week from Moscow. Thanks to everyone! It will take some time to register all the sendings, to open the envelopes, to read the letters, to scan the artworks and to post them at the blogs.

My trip lasted three weeks and was connected with studies at Moscow State University (special program for journalists). On weekends I didn't waste time there. I took part in XXX Moscow International Peace Marathon (September 12) and then run XXXIV Space Marathon in Korolev (September 26). Of course I'm proud of myself and can't help posting there the image of the marathon medals.
