For my sister Galina  in Italy, many of my relatives and countrymen working all over the world.

The village of  Boguslav is situated on the left bank of the river Samara. It is in 3 kilometers distance from the town of Pavlograd. The name of the village where I was born is interpreted literally as to praise God.
 The river Samara in this place has got twisting channel, shore line of submergence, and  small forest lakes and lacustrine bogs. Vast meadows, the flowers fling their fragrance all around, haystacks, the fumes of new-mown hay make the place pleasant for eyes and unforgettable. Different wild birds live in the forests and on the banks of the river and some kind of fish one can catch on the fishing rod. The villagers use small boats to boat in the rive and lakes

Meadows. Grass & wild flowers

 Many years ago the Samara river was a water way for trading and Cossacks' boats  crossed its riversides.

Now the countrymen make the boats themselves to go fishing and hunting.
