Something that is becoming hard to find are Russian tea glasses with the holders. Not at all available in Kimovsk. In Tula I have found a limited number for sale at one place where they sell samovar and at the military museum.
These two were 2,300 rubles each.
The holder on the right has a relief of the Soviet Union coat of arms, while the one on the left has the coat of arms of the city of Tula. These both hold a special meaning for me.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
