Where do you live? I live in a rather small provincial town in the Belgorod region, the town of Alekseevka. There are beautiful parks, old merchant buildings and green streets in the town. Of course it can’t come up with the capital of our country, but one can find picturesque places in Alekseevka.

How long have you lived in your area? I’ve lived in my area since my childhood, as I was born in Alekseevka and our family haven’t moved to other cities. It would be great to live in some other city, I think, because I don’t like our town a lot.

Describe your area My native town is situated in the east of the Belgorod Region and borders on the Voronezh Region. The town is surrounded by hills and located in the valley. The population of Alexeyevka is about 40 thousand people. Being a small provincial town, Alekseevka, nevertheless, is famous for its food processing plants. One of them is the joint stock company "Efko", widely known for its products not only all over the country but even abroad. Other profitable factories are the milk cannery, the meat packing plant and the sugar refinery. We also have several engineering and road-building enterprises that help to make our town well organized.

Do you like your area? I can’t say that I love my area a lot. Of course, Alekseevka isn’t the worst place in the world to live in, but all the same, we should take a good care of our town to make it better.

If you could live anywhere else where would you like to live and why? If I had an opportunity to choose the place to live in, I would prefer a big city, for example, Moscow or St. Petersburg. The fact is that life is busy and exciting there and I like it. There are a lot of wonderful things in big cities: famous museums, theatres, art galleries and new and interesting people, of course.
