Alexandra Prokopenko grew up in Moscow. She was always fascinated by economics: money, business, the way economies worked.
A few years ago, she landed a dream job as an adviser at Russia's central bank in Moscow.
Prokopenko loved Moscow. The city was vibrant and beautiful — full of restaurants, music and culture. But by far, her favorite place was Meshchersky Park, a giant forest in the city, where Prokopenko would go running.
"It was my favorite place. I always felt really great in there," she recalls.
