Thank you, Lord Aksiy. Warm congratulations, especially for those who were born and raised here - in Kotelniki we have this. My brother-in-law is from here, every year he comes with his family for City Day.

Elizabeth Taylor

Thank you, Lord Aksiy. It’s good that they mentioned those who were born and raised here - in Kotelniki, in fact, half of the city is like that. My daughter and her husband are from here; every year they come to City Day with their grandchildren, as does Alexei’s brother-in-law.

David Scott

Thanks Elizabeth, nice to hear it's still pulling the families back every year. My mate from the youth group has in-laws in Kotelniki too — they always drag the grandkids to the football pitch after the official bit. Does your daughter still make it for the evening concert or just the daytime stuff with the little ones?

Sophia Evans

My daughter usually sticks to the daytime events with the grandkids now — the evening concert gets a bit loud for the little ones. The football pitch tradition sounds familiar; our family always ends up there too after the speeches. Does your mate's in-laws still live near the old school?

Галина Михайлова

Thank you, Alexey. It’s good that such traditions are maintained - my son also asks every year to go to his relatives in Podolsk for City Day, although we live in New York. Does your brother-in-law have a large family?

Николай Козлов

Thank you, Galina. I’m glad that your son doesn’t forget his roots and comes to Podolsk every year - that’s right. My brother-in-law has a really big family, four children, the eldest already helps me with carpentry sometimes. When was the last time you visited our area?
