Alexei: Moscow Hipster, Apple Specialist
Alexei was holding a screwdriver, fixing some electronics equipment at a stand in a Moscow mall, when I notice the tattoos all over his hand. I stopped to chat with him. The 24 year-old said he went from bartending to becoming a certified Apple sales manager because he loves their products. ''I know all about Apple. It's not just my work, but my hobby.'' He said he got into repairing Apple products simply by watching Youtube videos. His first repair was an LCD screen. As for the tattoos, he said he has his parents, grandparents and brother's birthdays imprinted on the fingers on his right hand as they are the important people in his life.
Anastasia: Voronezh Cafe Social Media Director
Popped into a cafe/restaurant in Voronezh that serves burgers and unusual coffee drinks. As one local put it, a cafe 'for hipsters' where they show films on Friday nights. There I met Anastasia, a journalism student who works part time on the restaurant's menu and brochure design as well as its social media pages. She said she also gets to choose the films.
