The Generation Gap
In Russia, the generation gap appears to be quite pronounced. Maria seemingly descended the stairs to have a leisurely moment on the bench, whether to read a book or simply relax her mind.
However, it is essential to be aware of a prevalent Russian tradition: the daily gatherings of “babushkas” (grandmothers) on the benches. While Maria doesn’t seem bothered by the intrusion, the babushkas might have opinions about her outfit, possibly finding it unconventional or not conforming to their expectations. The clash of generations and differing perspectives could create interesting interactions.
