I grew up in Minsk

Anna Vasilenka

I was born and raised in Minsk, my school years passed here, where I first fell in love and then broke up, skipped classes at McDonald’s and drank champagne in the yard. Here I made friends, rode on a skateboard, and drank a lot of coffee. Here I went to university, found a job for the first time, and it was from here that I always wanted to escape.
