Russian society still divides the professions into “female” and “male”.
Tatyana Zemtsova, a car electrician, told us about the reasons and consequences of her choice.
« I loved cars and motorcycles since childhood »
Relatives said: “you're a girl !”
They wanted me to go to study as a choreographer.
I studied at first in college, then at technical university.
it was difficult to find a common language with classmates.
Some teachers openly ridiculed me: «she is looking for a groom»
Colleagues at work were rude and sore.
Others helped, explained and taught. Thanks to them I did not give up my work.
In the future, I’m still thinking of changing the direction to something simpler,
perhaps to work in the office, but also in the automotive industry.
