Task 4
The city of Saint Petersburg hadn't seen a parade this big on the Nevsky Prospekt since the USSR days. One of their own won the Challenge Cup. Everybody was going crazy, even skipping work to attend the event. They were even thinking of renaming the Winter Palace the Maximova Palace. Maria thought it was a bit much but she couldn't speak against the entire population. I mean, Ivan Koroviev had a street named after him in his native city after he won the Championship so she could settle for the same thing. An entire palace was maybe a bit too pretentious. Anyway, that parade was some pretty crazy shit. With jets, fireworks, jugglers, tanks and stuff. The Russians went all in here because they had no other parade to organize. While they'd do something similar for Ales Smirnov in his hometown, nobody knows where it's located so instead they just decided to put his face on every Smirnov Ice bottle.

But as her alarm rang, Maria woke up and realized she was not hugging the Cup, but her cat, General Mittenov, who looked most displeased. The fat ginger animal gave her a couple of slaps, leaving scars on her face. She'd later pretend she got them fighting a bear while camping back home.
