Vlad Belomoin (18) and Alina Snigiryova (18) in their apartment in Murino, St. Petersburg, Russia, 24 March 2017. A year earlier, they moved from the Udmurt Republic to begin university degrees in Japanese and marketing. Their studio apartment in Greenlandia gave them the chance to live independently for the first time. They hadn't made friends locally yet, but they have each other, and their cat, Esenin.
