NOTES, COMMENT AND BUZZ FROM EUGENE KASPERSKY – OFFICIAL BLOG
March 20, 2019
After my quick trip up to Karelia, I was home a mere few days before I was off again on my travels – this time to (southern) western Europe: Milan, Italy. Here’s the view out of my window on the plane thereto:
The weather here was a far cry from up in northwestern Russia – snowless, windless, sunny, blue sky, perfect temperature… aka – spring! Ok, there is some snow here, but only on the horizon – covering the peaks of the Alps.

The shortest route from Geneva to Milan is through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. I’d long heard about this route, and now I’ve finally had the chance to drive it for myself. And I can report the route’s a nice one. Not very long (only ~320 km), and very picturesque in the French part.

Hi folks from modish Milan, where it’s a sunny 28 degrees centigrade!
28º? So what? It is summer, after all. Yes, and temperatures in Moscow two weeks ago were approaching 28º. But for the last several days in the Russian capital it’s been hovering around 7º, and has hardly stopped tipping it down with rain (I even heard that there was hail at the weekend in St. Petersburg!) What’s going on? Moscow’s not in Greenland. It’s not on Kamchatka either (where snow in June fails to shock anyone). It’s on the relatively temperate Central Russian Upland! Still, I should be grateful it didn’t get as bad as in Paris…
Out of my hotel room window I’ve got a great view of the Milano Centrale railway station. What a grandiose bit of architecture…
Though I’ve been inside it a few times before and always been very impressed, I decide to have another peek – just to lessen my sclerosis.
Read on: Monumental, imperially, with a reserve for the future …

Ciao all!
Just in case – I’m writing this from… Milano!
… Where we’ve just had the opening ceremony of our second Italian office! Eccellente!
Here it is from the inside:
