Rovno, Ukraine.
At 2:00 p.m. at the Nokia factory in the eastern and northern suburbs of rivney, thousands of people came in and out of the factory gates. Even if most of them were young people, the sudden temperature change inside and outside the factory still made many people who left subconsciously shrink their necks.
In December, Livni recently had a heavy snow for four consecutive days. Although it turned sunny, the daytime temperature was lower than minus 10 degrees.
Elena bodminskaya and Mary lavikin are two of the countless workers.
The two girls are of the same age, both 23 years old, from Nikolayev state in southern Ukraine. Because they both have university degrees, they were able to settle in Livni, Rovno state, which is very restricted at present, and successfully entered the Nokia factory.
It is not easy to find such a stable job in Ukraine.
Even if they smuggle to Western Europe, according to the feedback of some wandering relatives and friends, they can only do the bottom work. Because they are black workers, they will not only be squeezed by the boss, but also face the arrest and repatriation of immigration institutions at any time. Many people live like rats, and there are countless people who go astray.
The pursuit of stability is human nature. If there is a choice, no one will be willing to leave their hometown.
Therefore, the suddenly prosperous state of Rovno is no less attractive to the current depressed Ukraine than to go far away from Western Europe.
Yelina and Mary came to the bicycle shed of the factory with the flow of people. Their boyfriends Alexander kuzminko and Sergei bortaiev had taken the car and were waiting here, chatting with several other acquaintances.
After everyone said hello, the two boys left the factory by bike with their girlfriends.
While cycling, yelina, sitting in the back seat of her boyfriend Alexander's car, has an extra information in her hand, a publicity poster about the recruitment of civil servants by the Rovno state government.
Next, I'm going to the supermarket. When two pairs of men and women leave the noisy factory boundary, Mary sitting in the back seat has finished reading the information and asked Ye Linna: "do you think it's possible for us to try?"
Ye Lina's tone is mixed with expectation and Entanglement: "only 500 people are recruited this time. We must break the head. We have enough education, but we are not local people in Rovno and can't compare with those guys with contacts."
Mary was not discouraged and said, "there's no problem trying. The recruitment exam is a month later. Well, I don't know what else to prepare?"
Mary's words fell down, and her former boyfriend Sergei said, "Boris, they just said that there was a special training class. The training in a month costs about 1000 hryvna, which is very expensive."
The two girls couldn't help sighing.
The current salary of the four people is about 1300 hryvna, including some night shift or full-time subsidies. According to the current 46:1 ratio of Ukrainian currency to the US dollar, it is actually only about US $28.
There are elements of the devaluation of the Ukrainian currency under the impact of the financial storm since last year, but it is actually enough for them to live in this city.
Now, if you want to climb up, a course needs about one month's salary. Considering the high failure rate, you immediately hesitate.
Alexander, ye Linna's boyfriend, listened to the two girls and advised, "let's ask again recently. Maybe we can find some materials to read by ourselves without class."
When ye Linna heard the speech, some conspiracy theories said: "I don't think so. Maybe someone specifically wants to earn this training fee. We don't have classes, but go to the exam. Maybe we will be directly rinsed down at that time."
"Yes," Mary couldn't help but agree, and hugged her boyfriend who was cycling: "last time Sergei applied for a position in that power plant, even the first round of examination failed. Sergei graduated from standard electrical engineering."
Sergey could only giggle twice when his girlfriend defended himself against injustice.
In fact, when he applied for the job last year, he played really badly, because not long after he first arrived in Livni, he easily entered the Nokia factory with his education and settled down. It was inevitable to be slack. He didn't expect to have such a good opportunity.
Unfortunately, you can imagine.
If you can enter the power plant, it may not be much different from civil servants. Maybe you have saved enough money to marry your girlfriend and don't need to rent an apartment for four people.
Hesitantly, they talked about passing through the newly built asphalt road in the northeast of the city in recent years and soon came to the supermarket adjacent to their living community.
To be exact, it is not only a supermarket, but also surrounded by schools, hospitals, cinemas and other places. It is the super resettlement community built by westrow system with an investment of US $200 million three years ago. Compared with the original planning, the resettlement community still expanding to the surrounding area is completely a new city with complete supporting facilities, and the residential population has doubled to 300000.
Even so, apartments in this area are in short supply.
Because the four young people joined the most popular Nokia factory in rivney, had good academic qualifications and sufficient working experience, they were qualified to rent a two bedroom apartment here after several applications.
Because there are subsidies here.
An apartment for four people only needs to pay 1200 hryvna after the subsidy. Although it is equivalent to their monthly salary, it is only 300 hryvna per person. Moreover, compared with those latecomers who are crowded in a collective dormitory for eight people, they can live in a well-equipped apartment, even with the inevitable water, electricity and gas, But this is the life of normal people after all.
The next goal of the four young people is to be able to change to a room where they can live in a world of two.
Then you can get married and completely stabilize.
Of course, it's not easy.
After all, it will be more than just an increase in rent, so it's best to change to a more promising job such as a civil servant.
In any case, the current situation is much better than that of other urban residents in this country, which can be easily seen in the newspaper. Even Kiev, the capital, is not as good as here.
The four people parked their cars in the supermarket and entered the three-story shopping mall covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Every time they looked at the surrounding colorful goods, it was inevitable that the four young people who grew up in the former Soviet Union would feel like a world away.
And, want to buy, want to buy, want to buy.
Because the economy collapsed again after last year's crisis, at present, the whole former Soviet Union is in a state of material shortage. As the big brother of Russia, an important daily task of many people is to line up in a long line to buy limited supply of cheap bread, while Livni is simply two worlds.
Because of Saturday, there were so many people around. The four finally grabbed two carts and rushed into the shopping crowd.
It was basically the next week's purchase. In addition to bread, fruit and drinks, there were some daily necessities for washing. Finally, they turned around in the clothing and shoes area. The two girls couldn't help but buy a pair of discounted leather boots.
Checkout out of the supermarket, time is more than an hour later.
Considering the situation in other parts of the country, even the two boys who naturally dislike shopping are quite satisfied that they can buy so many daily necessities at a very affordable price.
Carrying a pile of shopping bags, she discussed it a little and didn't go back directly. The two boys wanted to go to the Internet cafe next to them to play games. All four of them had membership cards. Ye Lina didn't want to go, so she voted, three to one, and the minority obeyed the majority.
Two boys stuck to computers and couldn't get away. They played a "anti terrorist elite ol" from the United States. They only planned to spend two hours. As a result, they walked out of a large Internet cafe with hundreds of computers. It was completely dark outside.
Holding big bags and small bags for discussion, he simply went to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.
The thing called "hot pot" here is simply customized for winter. It is full every day in this season.
Even if the restaurant occupied a whole five story building, the four people still lined up for more than ten minutes to get a seat.
After ordering and waiting for the waiter to serve, Mary couldn't help thinking about it and said to her boyfriend, "Sergey, we seem to have overspent again today."
Sergei and Alexander had already touched a glass of liquor. After listening to their girlfriend say so, they said, "yes, if you don't buy those shoes."
Mariton was guilty and couldn't help retorting, "don't you think those leather boots are beautiful, and they're still 50% off."
What else can Sergei say.
In fact, they have been quietly accumulating marriage funds. Their initial intention is to leave 20% of their salary every month, so that they can save 6000 hryvna a year. After two or three years, even if they buy a house, they still have extravagant hopes, but they still have the confidence to change houses, get married and have children.
As a result, almost a year and a half since they came to the city last year, their small Treasury has only saved less than 2000 hryvna.
This is also the result of their conscious saving.
However, when you think about it, it's like just going to an Internet cafe to play games. It's like sitting in this Chinese restaurant unconsciously. In the past year, there have been countless times. You can't help going to the surrounding concert halls, bars, cafes and cinemas
It's like falling into a circle. Unconsciously, you spend as much as you earn.
The couple across the table also know their plans. They also want to save money to get married. Unfortunately, they just think about it. They don't have much money in hand at present. If both of them want to apply for the civil servant training course, they may have to borrow some money from acquaintances or even find a home to help them, so as not to make ends meet.
Alexander is a broad-minded man. Now life is so comfortable. What do you want to do so much? When you see the two bickering, you join in the fun: "in this case, you two, will you go skiing in the resort tomorrow?"
The hot spring resort in the north of Livni is the yearning place of countless young people in the city.
However, according to their income level, it is a luxury to go once a month or two. Moreover, when you go, you can only make some basic affordable consumption. You need to make a good plan even for the night. The hotel can be very expensive.
Because it snowed a few days ago and it was a good season for skiing, I planned to go again.
Alexander asked, Mary hesitated a little, Sergei nodded decisively, "go, be sure to go."
The two people opposite suddenly laughed.
After laughing for a while, yelina suddenly took out the salary card of rivney commercial bank and shook it across the street: "Mary, if you really want to save money, I can give you a suggestion."
"Huh?"
"Don't always swipe your card," yelina said. "Whatever you buy, try to use cash."
Mary wondered, "what do you mean?"
Ye Linna played with the blue card in her hand and said, "at first, I also felt that this card can brush everything here. It's really too convenient. It's almost the same as those developed countries. However, after thinking about it recently, I felt that some people deliberately did it."
"Deliberately?"
"Deliberately through this convenience, we unconsciously spend all our money."
Sergei said, "there's no such conspiracy theory. In that case, why don't you and Alec use cash directly? Just now I saw you swipe your card to buy shoes."
Ye Linna said, "I don't want to save money."
“……”
After looking at each other for a moment, Mary said helplessly, "maybe we should find another job."
Ye Linna shook her head directly: "I can't find it. Now the most scarce thing in Livni is job opportunities. Why doesn't our factory work overtime now? They can only work eight hours a day, because they can hire enough workers and don't need to pay extra fees for us to work overtime."
Alexander also said: "More than that, now there are many illegal workers from neighboring countries in Livni. There are people from Romania, Belarus, Russia and even Azerbaijan who work 12 hours a day to get 500 or 600 hryvnas. We should be glad that Nokia is a big brand. We are worried about the pressure of public opinion on illegal workers, so we can have our stable jobs."
Mary had heard of this and said with emotion, "why don't they go to Western Europe?"
"You think it's so easy to go to Western Europe," yelina said. "Now the snake head has a clear price tag. It costs 20000 grifner to go to Germany. Can you take it out? Moreover, even if you can successfully arrive, if you don't have relatives and friends there, it's hard to say whether you will be abducted and sold to slave factories."
"But, I think, five or six hundred grifner, a little less?"
"Very good. It's better for those factories to be responsible for food and housing than to stay in their hometown," Alexander said, laughing again. "It must be more than we save."
Sergei interrupted at this time: "anyway, I will never do it. I only get half of our salary for 12 hours a day. Even if I can save it all, it is not a normal life at all."
Ye Linna has some angry young people: "the life of normal people. Now there are several normal countries in the whole CIS region. Russia almost collapsed. Here, only Rovno state is better."
Before the others had time to express their views, the waiter brought food and everyone closed their mouths and ate together.
This kind of "hot pot" from China is delicious, but it is also very expensive. Four people can only eat once or twice a month. Of course, the meal fee is AA. Everyone is good friends. Even if they don't want to make more money, they don't want to suffer losses.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Moreover, compared with those latecomers who are crowded in a collective dormitory for eight people, they can live in a well-equipped apartment, even with the inevitable water, electricity and gas, But this is the life of normal people after all.The next goal of the four young people is to be able to change to a room where they can live in a world of two.Then you can get married and completely stabilize.Of course, it's not easy.After all, it will be more than just an increase in rent, so it's best to change to a more promising job such as a civil servant.In any case, the current situation is much better than that of other urban residents in this country, which can be easily seen in the newspaper. Even Kiev, the capital, is not as good as here.The four people parked their cars in the supermarket and entered the three-story shopping mall covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Every time they looked at the surrounding colorful goods, it was inevitable that the four young people who grew up in the former Soviet Union would feel like a world away.And, want to buy, want to buy, want to buy.Because the economy collapsed again after last year's crisis, at present, the whole former Soviet Union is in a state of material shortage. As the big brother of Russia, an important daily task of many people is to line up in a long line to buy limited supply of cheap bread, while Livni is simply two worlds.Because of Saturday, there were so many people around. The four finally grabbed two carts and rushed into the shopping crowd.It was basically the next week's purchase. In addition to bread, fruit and drinks, there were some daily necessities for washing. Finally, they turned around in the clothing and shoes area. The two girls couldn't help but buy a pair of discounted leather boots.Checkout out of the supermarket, time is more than an hour later.Considering the situation in other parts of the country, even the two boys who naturally dislike shopping are quite satisfied that they can buy so many daily necessities at a very affordable price.Carrying a pile of shopping bags, she discussed it a little and didn't go back directly. The two boys wanted to go to the Internet cafe next to them to play games. All four of them had membership cards. Ye Lina didn't want to go, so she voted, three to one, and the minority obeyed the majority.Two boys stuck to computers and couldn't get away. They played a "anti terrorist elite ol" from the United States. They only planned to spend two hours. As a result, they walked out of a large Internet cafe with hundreds of computers. It was completely dark outside.Holding big bags and small bags for discussion, he simply went to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.The thing called "hot pot" here is simply customized for winter. It is full every day in this season.Even if the restaurant occupied a whole five story building, the four people still lined up for more than ten minutes to get a seat.After ordering and waiting for the waiter to serve, Mary couldn't help thinking about it and said to her boyfriend, "Sergey, we seem to have overspent again today."Sergei and Alexander had already touched a glass of liquor. After listening to their girlfriend say so, they said, "yes, if you don't buy those shoes."Mariton was guilty and couldn't help retorting, "don't you think those leather boots are beautiful, and they're still 50% off."What else can Sergei say.In fact, they have been quietly accumulating marriage funds. Their initial intention is to leave 20% of their salary every month, so that they can save 6000 hryvna a year. After two or three years, even if they buy a house, they still have extravagant hopes, but they still have the confidence to change houses, get married and have children.As a result, almost a year and a half since they came to the city last year, their small Treasury has only saved less than 2000 hryvna.This is also the result of their conscious saving.However, when you think about it, it's like just going to an Internet cafe to play games. It's like sitting in this Chinese restaurant unconsciously. In the past year, there have been countless times. You can't help going to the surrounding concert halls, bars, cafes and cinemasIt's like falling into a circle. Unconsciously, you spend as much as you earn.The couple across the table also know their plans. They also want to save money to get married. Unfortunately, they just think about it. They don't have much money in hand at present. If both of them want to apply for the civil servant training course, they may have to borrow some money from acquaintances or even find a home to help them, so as not to make ends meet.Alexander is a broad-minded man. Now life is so comfortable. What do you want to do so much? When you see the two bickering, you join in the fun: "in this case, you two, will you go skiing in the resort tomorrow?"The hot spring resort in the north of Livni is the yearning place of countless young people in the city.However, according to their income level, it is a luxury to go once a month or two. Moreover, when you go, you can only make some basic affordable consumption. You need to make a good plan even for the night. The hotel can be very expensive.Because it snowed a few days ago and it was a good season for skiing, I planned to go again.Alexander asked, Mary hesitated a little, Sergei nodded decisively, "go, be sure to go."The two people opposite suddenly laughed.After laughing for a while, yelina suddenly took out the salary card of rivney commercial bank and shook it across the street: "Mary, if you really want to save money, I can give you a suggestion.""Huh?""Don't always swipe your card," yelina said. "Whatever you buy, try to use cash."Mary wondered, "what do you mean?"Ye Linna played with the blue card in her hand and said, "at first, I also felt that this card can brush everything here. It's really too convenient. It's almost the same as those developed countries. However, after thinking about it recently, I felt that some people deliberately did it.""Deliberately?""Deliberately through this convenience, we unconsciously spend all our money."Sergei said, "there's no such conspiracy theory. In that case, why don't you and Alec use cash directly? Just now I saw you swipe your card to buy shoes."Ye Linna said, "I don't want to save money."After looking at each other for a moment, Mary said helplessly, "maybe we should find another job."Ye Linna shook her head directly: "I can't find it. Now the most scarce thing in Livni is job opportunities. Why doesn't our factory work overtime now? They can only work eight hours a day, because they can hire enough workers and don't need to pay extra fees for us to work overtime."Alexander also said: "More than that, now there are many illegal workers from neighboring countries in Livni. There are people from Romania, Belarus, Russia and even Azerbaijan who work 12 hours a day to get 500 or 600 hryvnas. We should be glad that Nokia is a big brand. We are worried about the pressure of public opinion on illegal workers, so we can have our stable jobs."Mary had heard of this and said with emotion, "why don't they go to Western Europe?""You think it's so easy to go to Western Europe," yelina said. "Now the snake head has a clear price tag. It costs 20000 grifner to go to Germany. Can you take it out? Moreover, even if you can successfully arrive, if you don't have relatives and friends there, it's hard to say whether you will be abducted and sold to slave factories.""But, I think, five or six hundred grifner, a little less?""Very good. It's better for those factories to be responsible for food and housing than to stay in their hometown," Alexander said, laughing again. "It must be more than we save."Sergei interrupted at this time: "anyway, I will never do it. I only get half of our salary for 12 hours a day. Even if I can save it all, it is not a normal life at all."Ye Linna has some angry young people: "the life of normal people. Now there are several normal countries in the whole CIS region. Russia almost collapsed. Here, only Rovno state is better."Before the others had time to express their views, the waiter brought food and everyone closed their mouths and ate together.This kind of "hot pot" from China is delicious, but it is also very expensive. Four people can only eat once or twice a month. Of course, the meal fee is AA. Everyone is good friends. Even if they don't want to make more money, they don't want to suffer losses.
