And Maxim!!!
Since...Congratulations, Stephanie!!! And Maxim!!!<br /><br />Since he was born in Sevastopol, he was probably born to Russian parents, not Ukrainian since the city of Sevastopol is a mostly Russian city (72% Russian / 22% Ukrainian). Just something fun for you to think about. :-)<br /><br />Sevastopol has one of the most amazing underground military bases and nuclear warhead storage (left over from Soviet times) that we have ever seen. An entire city could live and work in those underground tunnels (up to 10 thousand people) and it was built to survive a direct atomic impact. Look up "Balaklava" and read about it. I have toured through it twice. So interesting!<br /><br />Who knows? It is likely that Maxim's grandparents could have worked in there...Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843937048617443878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542943572179337730.post-60113726947588491442013-01-16T11:44:43.467-06:002013-01-16T11:44:43.467-06:00Congratulations!

And beautiful gifts too. Love the name too. I had to laugh about the nickname comment though. LOL It definitely seems to be a trend in your family. :-)<br /><br />There was nothing in his records why he ended up in KR? Maybe Belogorsk was full? That is very interesting all of your boys may have ended up in the same place.<br /><br />I hope you can "relax" a bit now over the next 9-10 days and enjoy your new son. Please say "hi" to "my" Maxim for me! :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330166024621589790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542943572179337730.post-45722665786400719102013-01-16T08:04:50.484-06:002013-01-16T08:04:50.484-06:00Congratulations to your family and Maxim.
