Despite the fact that I was completely confident in the excellent state of my own health, I became scared. And here Natasha came to the rescue. At the stall with the inscription The Best Food. A couple of meters from us, two thin-necked sergeants were indeed peacefully eating cakes with meat. I started the engine and rushed to the address indicated by Kiryushka. My soul was restless. I turned my head and saw two policemen. Standing a little further away from. Who Alice was remained a mystery, but I wasn’t going to solve it.
We saw a staircase made of steel rods. Without thinking twice, I climbed up, deciding that the panel opened in the same way as the one through which we got into the tunnel. She rested her hands on the wall, pushed it aside, and climbed out. It was Vanya who said the little room. There was a sniffling sound, and later Ivan’s voice sounded in complete darkness. I was confused, but answered optimistically. At that same second, the closet lit up with light, and I closed my eyes. I stood in the middle of the toilet. Two toilets without seats or flush cisterns amused the ears. Peacefully rustling water. There was a strong smell of bleach, the doorway was covered with a mesh, and behind. Belka, Misha and two gloomy men with machine guns stood there. I stared at the guys with the gun and blurted out.
I stretched again. It was behind the mirror, but here a passerby pointed his finger in the direction of my typewriter and continued. I looked around at the offended Zhiguli, picked up the sneakers that had fallen out of the box and muttered. The man pouted, puffed for a couple of minutes and declared. So I dash into the store, clutching in my fist the pennies Raisa gave me for a bottle of beer. Zhigulevsky was in Moscow at that time. As soon as the illuminated boxes arrived in the stores, a horde of men stormed the counters, shouting. Sobbing, I told her the essence of the matter, told her about Raisa, beer, coins, the sewer grid... The woman forcibly shoved a banknote into my fist. The door to Zalygina’s apartment was open and propped up by a stool, and on the stairs, on the windowsill, sat a woman in shorts and a T-shirt smeared with paint. The girl jumped off the windowsill, put her hands on her hips and barked. I noted that her voice had changed and repeated. Nika bit her lower lip, then decisively shook her hair and rushed into battle again. I quietly listened to the already well-known story about cheating with things. I nodded. I know this establishment.
I had to obey. Almira lived in a brand new house, in a multi-room apartment, filled with expensive furniture. I opened. There was a mouth, but then the sharp ringing of the phone made me flinch. Almira grabbed the phone. Then she looked at. Suddenly I felt offended. But Almira is an extremely nasty person. I silently walked to the door. I quickly ran to the door. And before Almira had time to get up from the sofa, she pulled the handle, jumped into the elevator and after a few minutes found herself in the six.
The phone rang in my pocket, I hastily left Krestova to deal with the numb Zhanna. She looked at the handset screen and quickly said. A man's voice came from the mobile phone. The tenacity of Max's hire. The actor was delighted. Anyone else would have realized long ago that he had played his role poorly; he would have been seen through. It's time to stop making faces. But no, the idiot continues to talk about the chest and the chicken. Okay, at the moment I will get it... There was silence on the phone. A lady's voice rang out, chattering in English. I turned around, saw an attractive lady in a blue dress and asked. For a few moments the woman chattered at machine-gun speed, then became quiet, paused and looked at her.

Krasnodar region in the 2017 season is the number one destination
MOSCOW, May 30, FederalPress. The most popular tourist destination among Russians in the summer of 2017 is the Krasnodar Territory. This was stated during a briefing at the National News Service (NSN) news agency by Maya Lomidze, executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR).
“Russia leads the list of the most popular tourist destinations. The Krasnodar region is the number one destination in the 2017 season. People go to Sochi. In second place is Crimea. The average price increase at Russian resorts is 15%, and we are seeing some stagnation in demand. Let me note that last year 15 million people vacationed in the Krasnodar Territory, and if we manage to repeat the result, the region will receive as many Russians as the total of the 10 most popular foreign resorts,” Lomidze said.
“Türkiye is leading among outbound destinations this year. In second place is Greece, in third is Spain. These two countries can be said to be fighting for second place. Cyprus is in fourth place, Bulgaria is in fifth place,” added the head of ATOR.
According to Lomidze, with the emergence of Turkey on the tourism market, the demand for Tunisia has decreased significantly. However, the country where the ancient city of Carthage is located remains in the list of 20 most popular destinations.
It must be said that Turkey has become the record holder for reducing prices on the tourism market for Russians this year. A country located in two parts of the world at once offered trips cheaper than they once were to Egypt, with which Russia has no direct communication. Maya Lomidze cited May as an example, when you could spend a week at Turkish resorts for just 10 thousand rubles including meals. Now prices are, of course, higher. On average, a week of vacation will cost around 25–30 thousand rubles per person in a three-star hotel with all-inclusive meals.
“Türkiye has never been as cheap as it is now. True, it is worth noting that our other foreign partners prefer not to raise prices in foreign currency for Russian tourists. For example, the Czech Republic,” Lomidze explained.
The average cost of a week's holiday in the organized tourism segment is 40 thousand rubles. At the same time, the price category is different everywhere - there are tours for both 20 thousand rubles and 60 thousand.
Lomidze notes that demand is growing not only for Turkey. This year, one of the very popular destinations, even in summer, despite the rainy season, is Thailand. Nowadays there is a decline in prices, and people prefer to relax in Southeast Asia. Thus, there is a possibility that by the end of the year 1.5 million Russians will vacation there, whereas before the crisis, on average, no more than a million people went there a year.
In addition, demand for the Dominican Republic is growing. This is a fairly low-budget direction. However, the head of ATOR announced an increase in the number of flights to this Caribbean country starting next week.
There is also growth on expensive European routes. Despite the terrorist attack in Manchester and the difficult procedure for obtaining a British visa, the demand for travel around Foggy Albion has increased slightly this year. This is due to the fall in the value of the national currency of Great Britain - the pound sterling.
