...
It was New Year Eve 1999..
Big table with food at mother's apartment.
Me, my mom, aunt, sister, grandmother are watching TV.
All night, music and movies, tradition.
At midnight always Russian present wishes Happy New Year.
President Boris Yeltzin wished be happy, healthy, everything good and that he doesn't want to be our president any more and Vladimir Putin will replace him.
Few minutes after, fireworks outside, I hear neighbours knocking doors,
I am so happy, like new life starting,
Building new country.
We all go outside.
People are hugging each other, we don't even have winter clothes on,
I am in a green dress, by horoscope and slippers..
Music, dancing, happiness everywhere.
