Anastasia Valueva Biography

I came to Kyrgyzstan to teach a date-journalism at the American University at Central Asia. And he admits that she found new friends in the republic. Interview with Anastasia published the Bishkek online publication in the last year before arriving at Kyrgyzstan lived on suitcases. I was a retirement coach and moved from the country to the country. By this time, she graduated from educational programs abroad and was looking for where to settle.

On the one hand, it was free, on the other, I wanted something long-term. Inside, I had a rupture of my project, I wanted to apply it, I thought to return to Russia - and then I got to Kyrgyzstan in July with the training. After him, they invited to teach a date-journalism. Photo from the personal archive of Anastasia Valeeva. With the students of the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communications of the Autsa after the exam, a person who travels a lot when he comes to some country, as if tries, understands whether it will be able to stay in it or not.

I felt that I would have lived in Kyrgyzstan. When she left after the first training, she knew that she had not yet eaten, looked that there were interesting people with whom I would like to talk, so she was happy to return. When she studied in Germany after leaving television, I admit, I did not know what I wanted to do. In Europe, she attended different conferences, and one of them was just a date-journalism.

I was made from the methods, from the fact that in a completely different way you can look for information, analyze it and convey it. As a rule, these are “invisible” stories. Anastasia Valeeva is important because they concern most people. In such journalism, we say "every third is not norment, one of five does not receive a sufficient education." We begin to talk about structural changes, about systematic problems in society.

And how is Kyrgyzstan? For me, Kyrgyzstan is divided into summer and winter. In summer, absolute buzz: a sea of ​​fruits, insanely beautiful nature, the heat does not bother me.

Bishkek himself is quite convenient. There are traffic jams, but still. And in winter I begin to go into some kind of survival regime, and still I like that I live in a house with real Kyrgyz families, where there are many children. Not an easy life. And in winter you begin to feel it more. Anastasia Valeeva we were in Batken in February-March. We were very hospitably accepted, they were in a restaurant, almost the best in the city, and it has a toilet on the street.

And you understand that in such conditions people live. Firstly, the unsteadiness of the agreements immediately surprised. If you agreed to meet at 10, you can write at 9. And this is normal. Anastasia Valeeva can be late, move something or during the meeting to change the agreement. It can play for both for you. I myself am not completely sure, and if a clear agreement is needed, I will repeat ten times.

But you yourself are mobile in your agreements. And it turns out that no one is preparing in advance. The feeling that Bishkek is my native Zhukovsky, only ten times more and ten years ago. What exactly reminds? Khrushchev’s houses, children who play not smartphones, but in some, as it was in my childhood, real games in the yard with sticks, balls. Anastasia Valeeva, they constantly find out some rules with each other.

A lot of stalls, beauty salons, markets. I feel at home. When I feel bad, I go through the central entrance, I go along the main passage. The number of people around and goods just soothe me. Life that takes place on the street. You are like an accomplice, you feel her pace, it calms you. Then I go back and already start buying. Together with the altynai mambetova alty, do you like the national cuisine?

Because it is one of the few Kyrgyz dishes, as far as I know. Everyone jokes that there is meat and dough. Yes, the meat is tasty. Then I found out that it was not entirely safe, because there is no certification. But I ate the most delicious meat and fish here. I want and I'm afraid. Many times from friends I heard stories about them. After some time, I realized that I have been living for a year in Kyrgyzstan, and no one had called me to that.

At first she was upset, thinking that it was necessary to be a relative to get to the holiday. Then I decided to go Va-Bank and write on Facebook. And the stranger replied to me that his aunt invites me to Tushoo Toy, a holiday when the child begins to walk. Anastasia Valeeva I had a full range of impressions - strangers were very hospitably accepted. Participated in the competition, in the run.

At some point, I realized that I was leading. I thought, is it normal that I, a guest, an outsider, is the first? I slowed down a little speed, but it was racing, thought, and pushed. In general, I won. I fly into the crowd of guests unfamiliar to me, they give me a prize - a mantle. Was it difficult to understand what was happening? You know some things: the hierarchy of society, respect for the elders, but, being on that, you feel it better.

The evening took place in Kyrgyz. I myself understood something, contests, for example. Something was translated to me.A friend who invited me and another foreigner on that, was sitting nearby. In general, they accepted us as their own. What is it connected with? You are already Anastasia Vladimir Kyzy, ”they said. And guys with a feminist bias. Thinking for a couple of minutes, they said that it would not work, and asked what their mother's name was.

So it happened. Anastasia Valeeva Mom, seeing that I changed the name on Facebook, advised me not to wrap the fool and return everything as it was. We have an agreement: she does not comment on everything in a row, but she reads everything. At Datafest in Tbilisi - how did your parents react to the fact that you left for Kyrgyzstan? Before the trip, of course, I read about the country.

Then there were claims to the "Strug", I thought, "Wow, as they crush freedom of speech." But now I see that there is no strong pressure, you can write a lot of what you think. And I do not observe neither censorship nor self -censorship. Freedom is unrealistically inspired. It would seem that this is such a value of non -humorous, but it is very important.

Now I think that this is the most free country, it seems to me that they are traveling behind this. There is one more thing that is not in Russia - hope. Anastasia Valeeva people say: "Yes, there are problems, but we all interrupted it." There is a feeling that society is ready and wants to live better, and most importantly, believes that we will live better once. And it attracts.

In the summer, even at Issyk-Kul, I could not escape-there is a lot of work. In the summer I want to go to Lake Son-Kul. For another couple of years I plan to stay for sure. In the Ala-Arch gorge-what fascinated when meeting the local population?
