Walking by the evening Moscow


One of these days I found one pet shop. On its website I read that they had products for pets of very high quality. The shop was situated on Malaya Bronnaya street. That's between Tretyakovskaya and Mayakovskaya subway stations. When I checked the maps to look for a proper way to the shop I found that the shop was situated not far from Patriarshiy pond. Everybody who read "Master and Margareth" by Bulgakov, knows that this mystical novel started from this place. That's why I decided to take my camera with me even though I was just going to the pet shop.

The Call of The Wild

We are responsible for ones we have tamed, aren't we?..

I'd like to tell you about a little trip of mine which has happened to me today. I've been happy to visit dogs' shelter "The Call of The Wild" (Zov Predkov in Russian). It is situated in the field not far from Odintsovo town, Moscow region. This is a private shelter founded several years ago by a woman called Elena. She had a goal to help animals which were born in the streets or became homeless as their owners got tired of them. Today the shelter contains about 180 dogs of different breeds and ages. Volunteers, who got to hear about "The Call of The Wild", joined the team of the shelter and now take care about the dogs. They don't do it for the money all the more they are not forced to do it at all. Inspiration and love to little brothers are the reason they come here every weekend.

Today two volunteers and I have come to visit four dogs from a constrain they take care about.

Teachers

I want to dedicate this post to one person... I've been thinking how to describe him... "a person who made this and that...", "a person who meant this and that for me..." But at last I decided to write about him as a very good man who was talented and good teacher though sometimes he was severe.

Coward Doesn't Play Hockey*

At last I browsed all photos and can start my story about the event of the last Saturday.

But before I would like to return 40 years back and tell about another event which prefaced the Saturday.
In 1972  Hockey Summit Series between USSR and Canada Teams>>>.took place. This Summit Series had a great meaning for world hockey. It is because this Superseries hurl together pioneers of hockey, who constituted themselves professionals, and USSR Team which won many prizes on international tournaments including The Olympic Games. These games are also important because nothing alike took place before. Canadiens were surprised with physical form nd skills of Soviet hockey players. Soviet players were surprised with Canadiens' skills and aggressiveness. Many fights took place on ice. Intension was also high because formally games acquired a hidden political meaning as the representatives of capitalism and communistic world met on ice.
Valeriy Harlamov, Vladimir Petrov, Boris Mihaylov, AleksanderYakushev, Valeriy Vasiliev, Aleksander Maltsev, Phil Esposito, Bobby Clarke, Stan Mikita, Pat Staplton - these names are still famous all over the hockey world. It is also impossible to tell all legends and tales composed about the Superseries!

So, 40 years later the former ice enemies met in Moscow to celebrate the Anniversary of the Superseries-1972. On this occasion on the 25th of February participants of the games of 1972 came out on ice once again. They were Vladislav Tretyak, Aleksander Yakushev, and some other hockey players of some later perionds, Pavel Bure, Aleksey Kasatonov, Vyacheslav Fetisov, Vyacheslav bykov etc. And I was happy to present on that game.
