What It Was Like Growing Up In The Soviet Union / Immigrating To Canada As An Adult

If you've ever wondered what it was like to grow up in the Soviet Union, to be there as it fell apart and then the unique journey that many took to immigrate to the west, this video is for you. In this week's video I sat down with my Mom who was born in modern day Russia, moved all around the country as a child because her father was in the army and finally settle in modern day Ukraine as the USSR was falling apart. I was born right after the collapse and within five years we found ourselves moving to Canada to start a new life. I had made a video about a year ago what my transition was like and will link it down below. Immigrating as an adult is a totally different situation, so I'm really grateful that my Mom was able to shed some light on her own story in hopes that it will help others going through the same thing. I hope you enjoy it! Alina xo My Immigration Story: Get $45 free credit when you sign up for Air Bn
