VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA or why I want to escape the Far East (VLOG)


Vladivostok is a city in the Far East of Russia, on the shore of Sea of Japan. This city is famous for its unique vibe, hills, the sea and traffic jams. In the video I will show you a little bit of the downtown, some outskirts, graffiti, the local lore Arsenyev State Museum and the Pacific ocean.

However, I’m concerned about future of this region because Moscow treats the Far East a colony and takes all the resourses, giving almost nothing back. The federeal government can do whatever they want, as it was with the arrested governor of the Khabarovsk krai, Sergei Furgal. Given all the unfairness of the Russian juridical system, people in Khabarovsk don’t believe the accusations and they have been protesting in support of their governor for more than a month already. But Moscow doesn’t seem to hear this. (Watch the video with explanation of protests in Khabarovsk here: https://youtu.be/B674jBYBScE​)
