And the people here are the same — open and simple. But what happens to the provincials who get into big cities radically changes not only their lifestyle, but also the way they think, the manner of communication and much more. See for yourself how much the young people who decided to leave their small towns one day and join the rapid flow of the metropolis have changed.
