Murino is a suburb of St. Petersburg that has become a site of mass development in recent years. It attracts young people with its relatively affordable prices for buying and renting housing close to the city center. They like the city with its modern high-rises, although they complain about transport problems and the lack of infrastructure, such as clinics and kindergartens. For many, this is an opportunity to start life in a big city: they come from other cities, from the provinces, to try themselves and open up new prospects. The youth of Murino are described as “advanced”, “modern” and even “a little dissident”. Among them, there are those who have been to protests in St. Petersburg, while others are unhappy with the new “iron curtain” between Russia and the West. As a result, Murino, which has grown up with new residential areas in the middle of fields, with a large number of young people, looks like a separate world, another planet. The young people living there are the heroes of the film “Planet Murino” on the Artdokmedia platform. ****************** The opinions of the authors and heroes of the programs may not coincide with the opinion of the editors.
