We have asked pupils of Kazan School of Choreography to answer this question
«WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU AND TO YOUR COUNTRY TEN YEARS FROM NOW?»
SEREJA, 11: «I think I shall be a famous ballet dancer. And there will be definitely progress in the country because the President of Tatarstan will still be the same».
ALINA, 14: «All wars will be finished, and there will be peace on the planet. It will be achieved by Vladimir Putin because he is a good politician. We have good politicians in our town too, like Iskhakov, Shaimiev and Tarkhanov. I think they will be helping Putin».
DIANA, 12: «Nothing much can happen in such a short time. Even a tree, if planted today, won't yet be really grown up».
DIANA, 11: «Everything will be different. Everybody will be flying in the skies on their special flying machines. I will go there too, and find a good giant and dance for him. I know he likes ballet. My friends will fly with me and they will watch me performing. There wont be any tickets because by then, everything will be free of charge».
PAVEL, 12: «In ten years it will be the end of the world, so I think it is useless to discuss it now».
RADMIR, 11: «My name means «enjoy peace». In ten years, everybody will understand that we need to enjoy peace, and they will stop fighting each other. So all people on the planet will have the same name as mine. In ten years I can also go to London, but I will certainly come back here, because after all, Kazan is the best town in the world».
