Capturing Russia from white to black, north to south, east to west

Elizaveta: Barista & Dog Lover

Elizaveta works at a cafe in Minsk to help pay for her university studies….and to save up for a Hungarian pointer dog, a photo of which is taped to the tip bowl. Elizaveta said she gives half her salary to her parents as payment for university. She said she would like to stay in Minsk to be close to family and friends, but ‘decent, stable jobs’ can be hard to find in Belarus. When I asked if she would consider work in Russia, she said she prefered heading westward as felt closer culturally to Europe.
