LEISURE Newsletter, September 2016

Autumn has come! This time of the year always took a special place if artwork of Russian poets - Pushkin among them. Many verses are devoted to this beautiful time of the year when leaves are turning yellow and red. The famous "Boldino autumn" of 1830 was the most productive period in Pushkin's life when he finished "Eugene Onegin" and created many well-known poems.
September is pretty busy with us and we wish you a very productive travel season in autumn!

Sincerely,
Helen Isaeva
