Turkish airlines has run today a test flight to Nsk and is planning to run three flights a week direct route to Istanbul. While we have some doubts about feasibility of this (honestly most Russians are interested in sea resorts of Turkey, and there are already direct charters), it is still a great news about developing possible connections in visa-free country, which opens a lot of new destinations.
Yota, Russian mobile internet operator, announced the launch of its Nsk network, promising blazing fast internet for mobile users. LTE technology is first time employed in Nsk with this new development, and we really hope this will mean cheaper and faster intertnet for everyone.
Amazing but it is first time Nsk airport reports the same passenger throughput they had only in Soviet times before, in 1991 exactly, when it was the last sunshine of Soviet passenger aviation before its total collapse. So we're back to Soviet times, eh?

Tiflis - the Georgian restaurant in the middle of the city.
This is the place where all Russian-Georgian tensions would go away if our leader ever met there. Located at the corner of Sovetskaya and Frunze, this is a fantastic island of Georgian food and culture.
Remember two words - hachapuri (this is bread covered with cheese - absolutely fantastic to go with red wine, and they have plenty), and khinkali - like Russian pelmeni, but much bigger and with different taste, they're must-try if first time there.
