  1. I think it's very important to note one event, besides birthdays, it's Maly Theatre official openning. Maly Theatre (Russian: Малый театр, literally Small Theatre as opposed to nearby Bolshoi, or Grand, opera theater) is a drama theater in Moscow, Russia. Established in 1806 and operating on its present site on the Theatre Square since 1824, the theatre traces its history to the Moscow University drama company, established in 1756. In the 19th century, Maly was "universally recognized in Russia as the leading dramatic theatre of the century."

  2. Some of my group mates know - I'm fond of football. Because of that I can't write something about Sychev. He used to be a brilliant forward. I can say, as he has scored lots of goals.
    For example in 2004 season he managed to make 15 goals in 30 matches, in 2006 and 2007 - 12 goals in each season.
    'Meat' is the nickname of the FC Spartak Moscow. They say, that football club has to say "Thank you!" for it to Dmitri. On the game against "Zenit" he scored and took his T-shirt off. There was a motto on it: "Who we are? MEAT!"
