My name is Elena Sokolova. I work at the largest enterprise in Europe, the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. It’s been a year since I’ve been living in my own cottage in the satellite-city of New Dubrava. I have three children and it’s very hard to imagine a better place to live than a country cottage 20 kilometers from the city. And there are more than 200 such families like us. Now we are waiting for the completion of the construction of a large shopping center in New Dubrava. And in order to be involved in its construction, my husband and I invested in building a small part of the family budget. If we could, then you can, too. www.ramo.city
