Correct. IBEC and IIB are two financial institutions created for international settlements in world socialist system, in particular by using transferable ruble... Two banks are still in business and provide full range of financial services...

Hint #2 Our location is: Masha Poryvaeva street, Moscow

Sorry, Hint #1 Two international "organizations" of the same type of activity.

Question #14 Born in 1963 and 1970, We are two leftovers from world socialist system. Locating in Moscow, we are still in business as usual. Question - Who or what are we ?

Soviet Nuclear centers... Sarov city - Kremlev city

Any hints about youngest sisters...? ;)

I think Christophe can go to the next hint... :)

Point to Christophe. But... In my opinion VAZ-1111 and some other soviet cars , like Zaporozhets, were unique because they were initially designed as car for disabled/handicapped persons, in same time western cars producers only adopted or modified existing models for such special purposes. And it was the cheapest car in the world (in 1998 it price was 1350.00 USD only)... Of course I don't discuss quality etc.

Question #10 Please tell me a story of this car. Questions: 1. Name the car. 2. Name all producers. 3. What made this car so unique to compare with western car brands of that period.

1. Vladimir Lenin and his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya. 2. Lenin - Order of Lenin, State prize, etc. Krupskaya- Medal of Krupskaya. 3. Kriteria for Order of Lenin: The Order of Lenin (Russian: Орден Ленина, Orden Lenina), named after the leader of the Russian October Revolution, was the highest decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union. The order was awarded to civilians for outstanding services rendered to the State, to members of the armed forces for exemplary service, to those who promoted friendship and cooperation between peoples and in strengthening peace, and for other meritorious services to the Soviet state and society Kriteria for Krupskaya prize (medal): This is one of the few cultural awards recognized under the UNESCO Prize regulations. The Prize medal is seldom seen. The NADEZHDA K. KRUPSKAYA (Lenin's wife) PRIZE was awarded annually since 1970 by the USSR Government for contributions to intensify the fight for literacy in the context of lifelong education; to reward the services of institutions, organizations or individuals displaying outstanding merit and achieving effective results in the fight for literacy; associated with 5000 ruble award money. The Prize was cancelled in 1992. From other source: An N. K. Krupskaya Medal has been established, to be awarded to teachers and workers in agencies of public education and pedagogy who achieve particular distinction in the instruction and upbringing of the growing generation. The U.S.S.R. Ministry of Education, jointly with the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Workers in Education, the Higher Schools and Scientific Institutions, will award up to 30 N. K. Krupskaya Medals each year.

Sorry Jimz, Of course point is going to Christophe...

What you can say about this picture? (location etc...)

The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! (Russian: Ирония судьбы, или С лёгким паром!; Ironiya sudby, ili S lyogkim parom!) is a Soviet comedy-drama directed by Eldar Ryazanov as a made-for-TV movie. The screenplay was written by Emil Braginsky and Ryazanov, loosely based on Ryazanov's 1971 play Once on New Year's Eve(Russian: Однажды в новогоднюю ночь). For distribution outside of the Soviet Union, the film was titled Happy New Year. The movie was filmed in 1975 at Mosfilm. Simultaneously a screwball comedy and a love story tinged with sadness, the film is traditionally broadcast in Russia and the former Soviet republics and satellite states every New Year's Day.[1] It is viewed as fondly every year as is the American film It’s a Wonderful Life during the Christmas holidays. The key to the plot is the relative uniformity of Brezhnev era public architecture. This is made explicit in a humorousanimated prologue, in which architects are overruled by politicians and red tape. This results in the entire planet being polluted with identical, unimaginative multistory apartment buildings - of the sort that can, in fact, be found in the suburbs of every city and town across the former Soviet Union. These buildings are uniform right down to the door key of each apartment. The rest of the film is live-action. Following their annual tradition, a group of friends meet at a banya (a traditional public bath) in Moscow to celebrateNew Year's Eve (Новогодняя Ночь, Novogodnyaya Noch). The friends all get very drunk toasting the upcoming marriage of the central male character, Zhenya Lukashin (Andrei Myagkov) to Galya (Olga Naumenko). After the bath, one of the friends, Pavlik (Aleksandr Shirvindt), has to catch a plane to Leningrad; Zhenya, on the other hand, is supposed to go home to celebrate New Year's Eve with his fiancée. Both Zhenya and Pavlik pass out. The others cannot remember which of their unconscious friends is supposed to be catching the plane; eventually they mistakenly decide that it is Zhenya and put him on a plane instead of Pavlik. On the plane, he collapses onto the shoulder of his annoyed seatmate, played by the director himself (Ryazanov) in a brief comedic cameo appearance. The seatmate helps Zhenya get off the plane in Leningrad. He wakes up in Leningrad airport, believing he is still in Moscow. He stumbles into a taxi and, still quite drunk, gives the driver his address. It turns out that in Leningrad there is a street with the same name (3rd Builders' street), with a building at his address which looks exactly like Zhenya's. The key fits in the door of the apartment with the same number (as alluded to in the introductory narration, "...building standard apartments with standard locks"). Inside, even the furniture and layout of the apartment is nearly identical to that of Zhenya's apartment. Zhenya is too drunk to notice the differences, and goes to sleep. Later, the real tenant, Nadya Shevelyova (Barbara Brylska), arrives home to find a strange man sleeping in her bed. To make matters worse, Nadya's fiancé, Ippolit (Yuri Yakovlev), arrives before Nadya can convince Zhenya to get up and leave. Ippolit becomes furious, refuses to believe Zhenya and Nadya's explanations, and storms out. Zhenya desperately tries to get back to Moscow, and Nadya herself wants to get rid of him as soon as possible, but unfortunately there are no flights to Moscow until the next morning. Thus the two are compelled to spend New Year's Eve together. At first they continue to treat each other with animosity, but gradually their behavior softens and the two fall in love. Comedic moments punctuated by unexpected guests, the repeated returns of the jealous Ippolit, the buzzing of the doorbell, and the ringing of the phone are interwoven with the slowly developing love story. In the morning, they feel that everything that has happened to them was a delusion, and they make the difficult decision to part. With a heavy heart, Zhenya returns to Moscow. Meanwhile Nadya reconsiders everything and, deciding that she might have let her chance at happiness slip away, takes a plane to Moscow following Zhenya, easily finding him in Moscow, since their addresses are the same. [edit]Cast Andrey Myagkov as Zhenya Barbara Brylska as Nadya Yuri Yakovlev as Ippolit Aleksandr Shirvindt as Pavel, Zhenya's friend Georgi Burkov as Misha, Zhenya's friend Liya Akhedzhakova as Tanya, Nadya's friend Aleksandr Belyavskiy as Sasha, Zhenya's friend Lyubov Dobrzhanskaya as Zhenya's mother Olga Naumenko as Galya Gotlib Roninson as Zhenya's neighbour at the airport Eldar Ryazanov as Zhenya's neighbour in the plane Lyubov Sokolova as Nadya's mother Valentina Talyzina as Valya, Nadya's friend; Nadya's voice
