Mohammed, Jarbua – TV war reporter from Syria, arrived in St. Petersburg recently to continue their studies.
With the beginning of the war, Muhammad decided to defend their country, but not only weapons, but also the word. In 2012, he went to work as a war correspondent for Syrian television. It is on the military front, he began his career as a journalist:
As a journalist and videographer I was able to work alongside the Syrian army. Journalism was the most appropriate way for me to participate in the defense of my homeland.
The fighting and blockades, clashes with insiders and exclusive footage of besieged and liberated Syrian cities, reviews of cultural events and news stories are all what is part of Muhammad during his working hours.
But recently things have changed, and he went to Russia. To study and work. It was for the Syrian first foreign country he visited:
I came to Russia, to Saint Petersburg, where there are many military, cultural and political events, for example, recently there was a Navy day, part of my job I could take it off and show his people. Some of the ships were in Syria and defended our nation.
Syrian immediately noticed the contrasts of the two countries:
In Syria, people communicate more with each other and more respect the traditions. In holidays in Syria, the people gather together and celebrate the holidays. Unlike Syria, then in Russia, many neighbors don’t even know each other.
Shocked the foreigner and harsh weather St. Petersburg:
Here is the sun, and after 5 minutes of heavy rain, and the man on the street does not have time to go home and within two minutes all wet.
In Syria, the dawn and sunset have a certain time and there are clear seasons, clear when hot, when cold, but not here.
Deeply impressed the young Muhammad and from Russian beauties, ESPECIALLY blondes:
Syrian girls are some of the most beautiful in the world, but we in Syria most of them are brunettes, and there are few blondes, but there’s a lot of blondes, they are very beautiful, I like it a lot.
Have Russian girls and other pros:
Russian girls use a lot of cosmetics and have the freedom to dress as they want, and I really respect that.
Work and study in St. Petersburg, he skillfully combines with the rest. And here on what you liked to do in their spare time and in Syria. For Example, Dancing!
And the fact that he does not know Russian language, for it is not a problem:
From the first day I arrived, everyone who knew that I do not know the Russian language, helped me. So all I knew about the Russian, I saw live.
Russia is a safe country, but safety is part of the culture of the people, to live in a safe city is very important.
Russian the eyes of the Syrian people special:
In Russia people are very fond of their country, and people are willing to defend their country, and this we know from the history of Stalingrad and Leningrad. And also the Syrian people to defend their homeland.
Finally, remembering what is happening today in Syria, we talked to Mohammed about Russia’s role in the ongoing war:
Russia is fighting not only against terrorists, but still plays a big role in the ceasefire in different parts of Syria under the control of insurgents. Talks.
But on the battlefield, Syrian and Russian blood mixed against terrorists. And so, for many Syrians, the Syrian and the Russian army has as one army against the global plague of terrorism. Many people in Syria are very happy when I see a Russian flag and pictures of President Putin on the streets in their cities.
