Where do you usually go for a walk? Do you go to Okhta riverside?
We prefer to go to the Rzhevsky Forestpark. Okhta cannot be reached due to the
industry.

We try to spend it outside, in natural landscape.

How do you relate with your neighbours?
Sure, we’re quite friendly to each other, i know a lot of persons.

How long have you lived here?
5 Years.

Where do you work and how do you arrange your day time?
I found a job nearby this neighbourhood. We go to the center only for cultural
events and so on.

What wishes do you have to upgrade your region?
Indeed, something for my child - playgrounds, entertainment, green zones. With
high level of safety. Our municipal department promised it to us, but nobody did it.
