Khabarovsk: Vlad was wearing a Kangol ‘bucket’ hat, bright sneakers and jeans as he talked with a classmate on the chilly streets of Khabarovsk. Vlad, 19 and a 2nd year university student, said he wants to pursue a career in marketing, which he says he is passionate about.
When asked if they would like to stay in Khabarovsk, many students say they would like to move to western Russia, St. Petersburg in particular. Vlad said he would like to live and work in the nearby Asia-Pacific region as likes the culture and atmosphere.
When I asked what changes he would like to see in Khabarovsk, he mentioned both tangible – more roads and a metro – and intangible – attitude. “I’d like to see more polite and positive people on the streets. That is the main thing for every place and Khabarovsk too.”
