The old man of Vladivostok

Walking through the streets and sightseeing areas of Vladivostok, you can see the lonely and lonely figure of the russian elderly.

Russia is an alpine region country and a country with an aging population. The harsh climate and living habits make adults, especially adult men, heavily dependent on alcohol, and alcoholism seriously affects the health of male citizens.

Because, at this time, I read the taste of loneliness, loneliness, helplessness, helplessness and loss from their sluggish and unfocused eyes.
