my father, Mikhail Riabovitchev. It's been forty days since he left us and I'd like to say a few words about him. He had a varied life - he lived most of his life under the communist regime but was never a communist, he lost his father at a very young age, many years were spent in the far north of Russia where he learned to live in temperatures as cold as -70 degrees celsius, but he always remained optimistic and lived his life in high spirits! He was a serious man but a big romantic at heart and he had a great sense of humour............
And today I would like to celebrate his life:
19th November 1933 - 9th September 2007.
