Shakh: Making it in Moscow

MOSCOW: ''I came here to make money and build my future without any help from my parents,'' said Shakh, 22, who was born in Kazan and raised in Samarkand. He moved to Moscow 4 years ago. ''I always dreamed of achieving things on my own and the time has come to do that.'' Shakh, who lives with his 2o year-old brother, has worked at various jobs over the four years, including Burger King. He currently works as a barman, but dreams of being a rapper. ''It is impossible [to become a rapper] - I don't have any sponsors or such acquaintances,'' said Shakh, who likes 50-cent and Russian rapper Timati.

Vitali, a native of Rostov-on-Don, works as a barman in Moscow while he finishes his studies, traveling back home to take exams. He said he dreams of having his own bar some day. I asked if there were not too much competition. He said he has worked long enough to know what works and what doesn't and was confident he could create a successful bar if he could get the initial funding.
