The first stereotype that was broken concerned the people.

“It is believed that people are closed here, but they are convinced of the opposite. They approach to people on the street, ask something, and everyone answered them. Who does not know English, used one-syllable words. Kharkivens surprised them,” said Besarab.

“I have long wanted to visit Ukraine to see why many people want come here. Only two years ago, many people were afraid to come. But now it’s different. People are happy, open. I liked Kharkiv more than Kyiv. As a future economist I interested in your enterprises. Think about to enter the magistracy,” said Abbasov.
