Ivan and his family visited Russia, flying from Sofia to Tumen. They stayed with Ivan's great grandmother Sonya for two weeks, where Ivan and his sister played daily at the playground, walked in the park, visited the circus, and went swimming. The family also traveled to Tobolsk and visited a traditional Russian restaurant called a "traktir" at Uncle Andrey's villa, where they celebrated Ivan's sister's birthday. On their return trip, they visited Moscow before returning home.
