You will laugh but in 1980 I stayed in Murmansk purposefully in order to earn money fo r buying a cow!

As a present to his birthday, which he celebrated already in Murmansk, I made a large-size printed landscape picture (which he liked most of all) depicting the RV GEOLOG DMITRIY NALIVKIN in the ice of the Vilkitsky Strait during the passage from the Kara Sea to the Laptev Sea. “ WHY MAGE? IT IS CATCHY!” Celebration of birthdays onboard the NALIVKIN has been worked out to the last detail. It is short, fleet-style scheduled, and mannishly minimal. At the galley women bake a birthday cake and a celebratory poster is put up with an indispensable photo of the hero of the day at the announcement board nearby the crew ’s dayroom.
