In the church in Novorzhev. I think the priest in white had a birthday on that day. Natasha's grandma insisted that we would come to take a picture. But the real reason was to show us to her friends for approval (or disapproval) of our soon planned marriage. I caught so many judging gazes on me that I felt as if the birthday was mine :-)

August 1999, Novorzhev,
