Let us be reminded that the presentation was made within the frame of the online project "Same or Different: Topical Social and Cultural Problems of Youth in Russia and Germany" aimed at supporting the student exchanges between Volgograd and Cologne.

Following our long-term tradition, we have also prepared a short interview with the author!

Your presentation is dedicated to the hobbies of modern teenagers. Which of the following hobbies do you personally like most?

Evgenia Gamayunova:

"In fact, I have gone through each and every hobby mentioned in the presentation, but the ones I enjoyed to the greatest extent are customizing things and cover dancing. I've been into customization for a long time. I like embroidering my clothes, painting shopper bags, creating my own designs. But quite recently – in mid-February – I also took up cover dancing. My friend helped me with this".

What was your incentive for taking part in the competition?

Evgenia Gamayunova:

"My inspiration for taking part in this competition was my interest for the English language, which keeps growing with every lesson and every additional class I attend and take. There was also the fact that our society, in my opinion, has a rather one-sided view when it comes to the topic of teenagers' hobbies. Therefore, realizing the importance of such a topic as the hobbies of Russian teenagers, I decided to cover it in my presentation".

Where do you think the Russian bloggers are most likely to relocate from TikTok after some of its functions have been limited for the audience from our country's? If you have any favorite bloggers, for example, how did they react to the changes?

Evgenia Gamayunova:

"In the first few days after these limitations were introduced for TikTok users, many of them, including the bloggers I follow, started actively using Telegram as a new platform. I am also using this messenger, as it has a wide range of functional features, and makes it convenient to follow all the news and channels".
