The schoolgirl moved to study in St. Petersburg for the sake of the "Scarlet Sails" holiday

Schoolgirl Stefania Glinka moved to St. Petersburg to attend the Scarlet Sails festival in person. She told Izvestia about this on June 28.

"To be honest, I'll tell you a secret, I moved to St. Petersburg just to get to the Scarlet Sails party in 11th grade," Stefania shared.

The girl clarified that her hometown is Sevastopol, and she moved in 2024.

As the graduate noted, graduation makes her sad, but the Scarlet Sails holiday makes it possible to celebrate the separation from childhood in an unforgettable and joyful way.

"Everything ahead is very interesting and bright, but on the other hand, exciting new horizons, serious steps, and independent decisions are opening up," Stefania concluded.
