Andy and Christine lived in Moscow from August 2005 until July 2007. They lived in an apartment on Dolgurokovskaya, towards the North of the centre of Moscow. Andy worked for Schlumberger as a Geoscience Manager. His office was located on Taganskaya towards the South East of the centre of Moscow. They travelled all over Moscow using the excellent Metro system. During their stay, they made many new friends, and had many visitors. They made the most of seeing all of the beautiful places that Russia has to offer. Andy had business trips to all parts of Russia, including Sakhalin, East and West Siberia, and locations within the Arctic Circle. They were also very fortunate to see many concerts including orchestral, jazz, traditional dance, ballet and good ol’ rock ’n roll.
This is a photographic record of their time in The Russian Federation.

Special thanks to all of the wonderful friends that we made whilst in Moscow, my exceptional Russian colleagues at Schlumberger and to all of our visitors. It was a tough two years, but we now look back fondly to our time in Russia.
