News of Astrakhan City Blog announcement

When I was thinking over the idea of creating a blog, written in English (French/Italian) language, I supposed that I would make of it a place, where people from around the world could acquire the information about my native town. It would seem unthinkable for the inhabitants of large megalopolices, but there is also life here)))

And maybe the events occuring in the town of a middle size are not so sensational and shocking as the news from the pop and glamour mass media, all that big superstars crap... but they taste like a sense of a measured, steady and calm life of a Russian provincial town, only sometimes broken by unexpected events.

There are also many people, keeping their blogs, and its content also maybe interesting for you, my dear readers, because to know about a place on our planet Earth is not only knowing the georaphical position of if on a globe but also feeling of the close acquaintance with the thoughts and dreams of others....

Anyway, welcome to my new blog News of Astrakhan City
