  • Summary

  • For this episode, I talked with Lira. She is 23 years old. She was born and raised in Nizhnekamsk, a small town in Tatarstan which is famous for its numerous factories and issues with ecology. She finished her Bachelor's in Moscow, did an exchange year in America and did an exchange semester in Germany. She works as an English teacher and a tutor for Russians interested in getting a higher education abroad. Last summer Lira left Russia. She moved to the City of Tampa, Florida in order to get her Master's degree in Student Affairs.

    We talked about the decolonisation of Tatarstan, the influence of sanctions on Russian students, and the importance of educational exchange between Russia and other countries. 

    I hope this episode will bring new insights into Russia's young generation. Enjoy!
