He heated the usual icon, pierced their nail, made a small hole and released this blood! It became much easier for me, and I even went to the next game.

Our Dr. John Warton was surprised-the North Americans never did that, and for him it was something new. " But most of all, Mnatsakanov was appreciated for kindness and sincerity.

A few minutes later, all three fall into a terrible accident: the driver of the car flies into a tree at the entire speed. Later it will become known that the culprit of the incident drives a vehicle under the influence of marijuana. Fetisov stated the following: “The driver of the limousine did it on purpose.
