On Wednesday I'm leaving for Prague. It's my third visit to the city and I'm really looking forward to it. I've been their once with my parents and once with my schoolmates. Now I'm a "grown-up", so I'll be dicovering the city anew. My friend comes with me, so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.
I really love the city, I believe it's one of the most fascinating cities of the world with its unique atmosphere made up of mysteriousness, great history and art... and beer of course XD.
This trip will also make one of my dreams come true. And I'm already happy about it.

Which is the true history?
Lately it's been widely discussed in russian mass media, that many countries do interprete history of their relations with other countries in inadquate way. For example: In Russia every schoolchild knows, that the crucial part of wining against fasism in Europe belongs to Russia, in the USA they believe that only thanks to americans the WWII finished as it did. In our textbooks on history it's said that tzars of Georgia asked Ekaterina II (our Tzarina at that time) to let Georgia be part of Russia still in 18th century in order to be protected from agressive neighbours, but now they say theat Russia occupied the country in a military way and made them enter Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union.
I know, that the saying "many men many minds" works perfectly here, and that it's also a matter of national propaganda, but I would like to know, what really happened back then. Though it looks next to impossible now to know the truth.
The thing I hate the most about it is the fact that national governments are trying to find some external enemies or offenders to distract people from what is happening inside the country, by appealing to such feelings as patriotism, national pride, etc. I think it is mean. I only hope that such small conflicts now won't lead to any big problems later.

Final exam
Sorry for staying silent for too long. But there was a reason for that.
Today I passed my final exam at my university. The only thing left to do is the defence of my graduation project or diploma. And then I'm supposed to be a highly educated specialist in Inernational Market Affairs and Foreign Trade.
I wish the exam was at least a bit harder. It made no difference from those I've had before. And I'm affraid I'll forget soon about it, 'cause it was just too plain to remember.
