Sergiev Posad to collect sounds for the radio 

Mochovaya 9. As we can see Slava’s summer was quite energetic, except the day V. The day when he got shot. By the vaccine, of course. Maybe this led him to the sad day when he thought of losing himself and his moral compass. But Slava decided to get rid of despondency and began reading the historical novel The Silver Prince. Now we see who’s his role models, that’s why he stayed up all night writing his coursework. You can have a glance at Slava and see how powerful he is. There’s no surprise: protein bars and drinks will make a machine out of you. Powerful thoughts come along, so Slava spoke to his friend about anarchy and the nature of man. Actually, it was like speaking to a new person: they haven’t seen each other for 3 years. And after all these very meaningful summer details Slava finally has let go of everything old. There’s a new season for something new.

Meeting the sunrise with friends while walking in the Moscow region is what some of us are dreaming about. Sergey had a great opportunity to do it this summer. 

Having celebrated his birthday with parents, Sergey the Gemini didn’t receive any presents. Why? It is a tradition that Sergey’s family follows. They present each other with good mood, cozy atmosphere, show love and give hugs every birthday. However, there is no place for the material stuff. 

As a journalist, Sergey was working online in one of Barcelona’s magazine. What he understood out of it is that Spanish people are cute, but lazy. “Stereotype!”, - you may say. Sergey will disagree with you since he worked on a few articles about differences between the Spanish and Russian culture. He is the one who knows Spanish mentality the best. This stereotype is a true one and it’s useless to argue against it. 

Collecting apples, drinking kvass and watching Soviet films made Sergey consider that everything has its pros and cons. The film “Ugrum-river” really impressed him. The main character - merchant-gangster earned money by killing people. Sergey the Gemini cannot accept it. He agrees that money is power, but people are vital as well. Such a great summer insight!

The summer of 2021 was a weird one for Nikita Sulzhenko. Poor guy had only one month of rest instead of the well deserved three. Nikita was chilling in Chelyabinsk and enjoying the smell of fresh-cut grass when a deeply strange thing occurred. He had an unexpected lazy day. And then another one. And then a few more. Things started getting out of hand. However, he never gave up and watched a movie called "Cherry" with Tom Holland to spice his emotions up. It got him thinking about the fate of his generation and the way drugs ruin our lives. He proceeded to a book "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro to establish himself as one of the reading ones. After taking his knowledge to the next level Nikita decided to have a wild night in a tent with his girlfriend and then met the most beautiful sunrise of his life. He finished his summer with a classy move discovering a cocktail made of white wine, Schweppes and caramel syrup. What a stud that guy is. Absolutely insane. 

The happiest moment was her birthday on the 30th of August. Fizzy drinks, lots of food, colorful lights – everything was already great. But at one moment she was about to receive her birthday surprise. A black muscular man entered the room – he was a stripper! Yes, Lena’s friends ordered a stripper, and that made that night truly unforgettable. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Lena decided that the phrase of the summer would be “Oh my God!” 

The first thing Daria saw from the window in the morning was a green forest. She still remembers its pleasant fresh smell and the smell of the wood her uncle bought to make fire.

The session ended and everything started getting better. Daria felt relieved and then relaxed. Her happiest day was the day she finally met with her friends on a birthday party. They couldn’t meet for months because of the tough schedule.

Then it was all about practice. Daria’s most memorable task was to interview a woman with an eating disorder. Her honest and brave story made Daria feel both sad and respectful.

 

Daria was waiting for the musical festival, but it was canceled because of the pandemic at the last moment. She organized her own "fest". In one moment her friends and she decided to arrange a trip. A big warm company finished the day in Kaluga, singing the songs and laughing.

 

During the summer Daria was waiting for the arrival of her boyfriend to Moscow from Saint-Petersburg. He did that. That day became the happiest in her summer.

 

The book "How to became a manager of your feelings?" has helped Daria to make her waiting pleasant. She has become that kind of manager. She has broken through all the difficulties. She has chosen spontaneous freedom. That's why her summer has smiled at her.
