I'm a simple emigrant, and when I move to another country, I don't cut off my contacts

Therefore I spent this weekend in Berlin helping to cover an event at the Russian House of Culture and Science. First, about it. A pretty nice building, located in the very center, among Gucci and Rolex boutiques, etc. Right at the entrance people start speaking to you in Russian; inside there is a huge number of posters of all kinds: performances by pop stars, concerts by orchestras, theaters, speakers. There was also a screening of the film “Zavod” there on Saturday, which Yuri Bykov also attended, but unfortunately I found out about it too late. The result of my work there was roughly this: 9 hours on my feet in heels, one and a half of which were in the rain outside; almost 100 photographs and 30 minutes of video — it seems I used up all my generous traffic (1.5 GB per month) of German internet in one day; we recorded three syncs (which is when the interview is laid onto the video), three press releases (the last I finished at five in the morning), the same number of interviews on a dictaphone and their transcripts. And late in the evening there was an opportunity to at least glimpse the city a little and test out different establishments. Of the main sights I looked at only the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Victims of the Soviet Army in Tiergarten, since they were within walking distance from the main place of action. One more time from the car window I saw the Memorial to the Victims of the Holocaust; it gave me goosebumps, even with such a short interaction. In general, I understood one thing for sure: this place must be returned to and spent much more time here, I am sure that this city is capable of awakening the full range of emotions, you just need to give it that opportunity. And I will definitely do it. #German_trips #work
