    It's an interesting question what Siberia is. Before they believed that all territory on the right of the Ural mountains is Siberia. But Vladivostok and all the coast to the Nord has a very different climate. It's cool, soft and wet. Siberia conversely has climate with very sharp differences of seasons. Our summer is hot and dry, winter is cold and dry.

    It's interesting that climate in Siberia changes not from Nord to South but from West to East. For example on the left of the Ural there are oaks forests. But they are absent on the right. Climate in Tumen' is softer than in Omsk. Though Tumen' is to the north (but western). By the way I've a hobby. I plant oaks in Omsk. I travel around world and look for acorns. Then I plant them in my city.

    Omsk is a city of art. We have a very good museum of painting with European and Russian classics. Hermitage decided organize its branch here in this building.

    Omsk artists have a very high level. They often live abroad but most of them return back to Omsk. Today the most popular is Demidenko. I'd like to show some of his artworks.

    New Year is a main holiday in Russia. It's a very difficult period for us. We are eating, drinking and eating again.
    Translation: Master! Stop drink, I am not a Black Hawk, I'm your black cat!

    Thank you lady :)

    One reason I write about Omsk is Western people don't know what Siberia is.All of them know that it very cold there. That's correct, but nobody know it's very hot in Siberia too. All of them know that it's too small population there. That's correct, but nobody know that there are cities with population over 1.000.000 in Siberia too. All of them know that it's a wild territory there. That's correct, but nobody know that Siberia has a very strong science centers too.

    I think the common (mis)understanding is that siberia is all in the north. I was quite surprised to find out that siberia spans to southern russia.

    I don't scare very easy, but the thought of whatever happened to those hikers makes me want to piss my pants.

    There is the single novel of O. Henry with a strange title "Cabbages and Kings". There are a lot of stories with strange titles in Siberia. What about a story "Negros, Jews and Siberian girls"? :)

    I often tell my students that
    French hate Englishmen. Because they live close.
    Koreans hate Japanese. Because they live close.
    Irish hate Englishmen. Because they live close.

    Next I ask my students, why everywhere don't they like Jews? - Because Jews live everywhere.
    Could you prove my statement with other nation? - Oh, yes. Gypsies live everywhere and they are not popular too.

    Imagine a situation. There is a territory that inhabited by nations with roughly equal numbers. It'd be great if one nation is bigger than others. In this case we'd had a situation like in the USA with negros. We could suppress them without any problems. But Siberia consists too much nations and there is no main one. Of course, we hate other nations, but it is necessary to take into account the following. When you hate one nation then with your hate all is OK. If you hate 100 nations then your hate is divided by 100. Now it isn't a real hate. It's a slight annoyance.

    If hating to others is absent then you begin being interested other women. It's difficult to change the nature of men, you know :) This is a key moment. Children from interracial marriages are beautiful. In Siberia all people have parents with different nations. Did you understand? :) Do you like brunettes with blue eyes, you are welcome! I like more rare version of ladis. Of course I prefere blondes but with blackeyelashes and eyebrows. But in Siberia it is not a problem. There are any combination in any proportion... and female figures... oh, those Siberian female figures :))))

    There is an Siberian anecdote. A husband studies family documents and finds his wife is a Jewish... Oh, heaven! He causes his wife and ask her:
    - Is it right?
    - Yes, dear, it's correct, I guilty. But I have an extenuating circumstance.
    - What kind of?
    - I have beautiful legs.
    The husband look at her legs. The legs are really beautiful. The wife is justified.
    Note: Siberian men are very wild people so if they choose between a woman with beautiful legs and women with a good pedigree, then they alway choise the woman with beautufull legs. Therefore we have problems with pedigrees. Only :)

    And several photos of girls from Omsk prove my post :)
