English Diary

Living in London is like traveling on a luxury cruise ship, said Chinese writer and artist Ma Jian, who moved to London in 1999. What is this ship like on the inside? How does life in London differ from life... in Russia and other cities? What difficulties should one be prepared for after moving to London? How does the policy regarding coronavirus differ in Russia and England? Finance expert Andrey Movchan, who emigrated to London in 2020, discusses these questions and much more in his diary-like book. The author traces his journey from the decision to move to London to settling down in a country where he did not immediately manage to find common ground. Not claiming to provide an accurate depiction of life in London, this book contains sincere personal impressions of the early days of an emigrant's life in England. Together with the author, the reader can stroll through the streets of London, visit local markets, restaurants, and other places where one can feel the spirit of the city itself.
