Instagram of regular Russia

I personally enjoy Instagram from 2010. So it's been already longer than 5 years of me watching how the life goes in many corners of this planet.

I have Spanish friends, Japanese friends, American friends, Australian ones and so forth. I can see the world with their eyes.

Let me show you one of Russian instagramers. He doesn't live in Moscow or Petersburg. He lives in Russia. The city name is Tomsk.

When foreigners come to visit

It's a shame that I didn't get the opportunity to meet Ann who came to Moscow for a week from Singapore. But still I see her travel picks via Instagram, the best tool to jump inside someone's head.

Come join and watch her discovering Moscow.

Bailarina's Instagram

Here in St. Pete, we have Vaganova Ballet Academy, famous place for white swans and other girls.

And one of the students holds an Instagram account which became pretty famous, too: 27k followers is quite a lot for a 14-year girl.

Instagram highlighted this account in a recent blogpost.

“There are difficult ballet positions, but actually, I think the movements that look the easiest are sometimes the hardest to make,” says 14-year-old Maria Khoreva (@marachok), who studies at The Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg.

As Maria is in the ninth grade of high school and in the fifth grade of her ballet class, her average day is busy. “Usually I wake up at 8:00 AM and have my first high school class at 9:20 AM. Dance classes start after high school ends, and I practice two or more hours every day. The atmosphere of the Academy feels theatrical—there is a tornado of people in costumes, all rehearsing. After classes are over, I rehearse for performances that I’m in, and then I do my homework at home, also sometimes spending time practicing piano.”
