# Katya Sambuca

Katya Sambuca (born Yekaterina Dolgova); (August 27 1991, Leningrad, USSR, RSFSR) is a Russian television presenter, erotic model, singer, and actress. In 2023, her song “Skazka” went viral on the social network TikTok

## Early life and education

Katya was born in St Petersburg. Her father was a construction worker, while her mother was a former gymnast. She has Estonian heritage from her maternal grandmother. At age 15, Katya was used as the model for a girls' doll, "Bobby", manufactured in London. After leaving school she trained as a cook. While working in a St Petersburg restaurant she met Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, who told her to swap cooking for modelling and invited her to come to America with him.

## Personal life

Katya was given the name "Sambuca" by Bob Jack (real name Sergei Mikhailov), whom she married at the age of 16. In 2015, Katya left Bob and she is raising their common daughter Zvana alone.

## Career

In 2011 Sambuca and her husband took her erotic show, which featured her house and trap music, on tour, and performed in more than 70 cities across Europe. She became one of the most searched entertainers on Russia's search engine Yandex, and appeared on the covers of XXL (Ukraine) and Qoqo (Estonia, the successor to the Estonian edition of Playboy).
In 2013, she became a co-host on the technology show Trendy Device, broadcast on Russia's 2×2 channel.
In August 2014, Sambuca started a family counseling charity in the Estonian town of Haapsalu, where she lives. She offered the President and his wife free marriage counseling after footage emerged of the First Lady in an intimate situation with another man.
Sambuca is a flautist and has performed as part of a professional orchestra.

### Trial with Philipp Plein

In 2014, the German designer Philipp Plein used Sambuca's nude modelling shots, obtained without permission, in a line of t-shirts, which prompted her to threaten legal action.

### Haapsalu statue

In December 2014, the Moscow sculptor Alexander Wroblewski created a bronze statue of the little mermaid using Sambuca as inspiration. 125 cm tall and weighing 175 kg, Sambuca donated it to the town of Haapsalu, suggesting that it could boost the tourism industry. The mayor ruled out the proposed location, on the promenade near to Tchaikovsky's memorial, as inappropriate, but added that another place could be found. Sambuca also wishes to build hotels, shops, and a water park to boost the town's reputation as a resort.

# Swin (Thames)

The Swin is a passage in the Thames estuary between Maplin Sands, Foulness Sand and Gunfleet Sand northwest and the Barrow and Sunk sand ridges (shoals), southeast. The Swin was used by barges and leisure craft from the Essex rivers, and coasters and colliers from Hull, Great Grimsby, North East England, Edinburgh and other similar sets of trading ports.
In 1874 R.M. Ballantyne wrote:
   The channel ... was the Swin, which, though not used by first-class ships, is perhaps the most frequented by the greater portion of the coasting and colliery vessels, and all the east country craft. The traffic is so great as to be almost continuous; innumerable vessels being seen in fine weather passing to and fro as far as the eye can reach.
The channel is formed of a series of deep water passages through sandbanks. Approaching from the northeast craft enter the East Swin between NE Gunfleet and Sunk Head Tower buoys. This part is also known as the King's Channel centred on 51°45′N 1°25′E﻿ / ﻿51.750°N 1.417°E﻿ / 51.750; 1.417﻿ (King's Channel). From here is a choice of the Middle Deep or continuing with the East Swin centred on 51°41′N 01°11′E﻿ / ﻿51.683°N 1.183°E﻿ / 51.683; 1.183. Craft may also pass down the parallel Wallet channel and cross into the East Swin at the Spitway. Halfway along this part, at the Maplin Approach buoy, deeper draught vessels need to pass through to the Middle Deep centred on 51°39′N 01°10′E﻿ / ﻿51.650°N 1.167°E﻿ / 51.650; 1.167. Shallower draught craft, such as the traditional Thames sailing barges, may continue on down the East Swin and cross the Middle Sands directly into the West Swin at Maplin Edge. Both other Swins lead to the West Swin centred on 51°33′N 01°01′E﻿ / ﻿51.550°N 1.017°E﻿ / 51.550; 1.017. The southeastern end of the West Swin joins the main Thames channels.

## Etymology, pronunciation and orthography

It is an Old English word swin: a creek a channel. It was recorded in contemporary orthography of local writers as Swyn in 1365; a related toponym 'Zwin' occurs in Dutch. It was thus not a sound liable to the Great Vowel Shift.

## Scope and soundings

To explain the numbers on the inset map a depth of 1$_1$ is a formula of six feet (i.e. one fathom) and 1 foot. It is 1+1⁄6 fathoms. This excerpt shows clearly the detailed shallows which affect vessels of greater draught such as ships most severely.

# L'Escargot (restaurant)

L'Escargot is London's oldest French restaurant, and is also one of the city's oldest restaurants. It is housed in a Georgian townhouse on Greek Street, in the heart of the Soho district. The building, which dates from 1741, was previously the private residence of the Duke of Portland.

## History

Soho began to be developed after the Great Fire of London in 1666, when over 13,000 houses were destroyed and 100,000 citizens left homeless. The area, then called Soho Fields, was an obvious location for the wealthy to build their property, being within easy reach of the royal palaces of Westminster, Whitehall and St James's. The name Soho is said to derive from "so-ho", a popular hunting cry of the time.
Georges Gaudin established a restaurant in 1896 at the bottom end of Greek Street, called Le Bienvenue. He became famous for his snails, his being the first restaurant in England to serve the delicacy. When in 1927 he moved to larger premises at 48 Greek Street, his customers implored him to rename his restaurant L'Escargot after his most popular dish. He acquiesced, and called the new restaurant L'Escargot Bienvenue. His snail farm in the basement of the new restaurant became quite a talking point. A plaster bust of Gaudin riding a snail, with the motto "slow but sure", remains to this day on display outside the restaurant.

### 1980s–1990s

After his retirement his son Alex ran the restaurant, and it established itself as the best French restaurant in London. Nick Lander and his wife Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine, took over the restaurant in 1981 and maintained its reputation as one of the best restaurants in London. They employed Elena Salvoni, widely recognized as one of the greatest restaurant managers of the 1980s, hence regulars often nicknamed the restaurant 'Elena's Place'.
L'Escargot was refurbished in 1992, when Jimmy Lahoud and chefs David Cavalier and Garry Hollihead took over the reins. Marco Pierre White took over as Head Chef when he went into partnership with Jimmy Lahoud at Quo Vadis restaurant on Dean Street and the restaurant was voted Best French Restaurant in London and Best Restaurant in Soho.

### Recent Developments (2014–Today)

In February 2014, L'Escargot was acquired by Brian Clivaz (of The Arts Club, Home House and Langan's Brasserie), Laurence Isaacson and a group of their friends. In 2023 Thomas Hitzlsperger, a former Premier League footballer and entrepreneur, acquired L'Escargot.

## The Snail Club

In February 2024, The Snail Club, a private members’ club, opened on the top floor of the restaurant.
