First I want to thank you Oleg for this great article. You have explained a lot of important and sensitive points in any refugee's life. Being a refugee have never been easy for anyone, it's a very difficult starting with being forced to leave you country, friends..etc , ending to restart a whole new life, in a new country, new culture, new everything. I have been in Sweden for more than three years, and I would never say it was easy to adapt and understand the life-style in Sweden. Just like you said up there, there is a lot of thing could play a huge step forward like age, personal motivation and positive outlook on life is the most important of all. In other hand there a bunch of negative things could have happened to any refugee , But the strength and determination in each one of us will determine the amount of integration and development.
It could be way more easier for open-mined and free-thinking people to adapt in not-religious society than the others.
I'm very interesting to discuss about this things with you and have some tips. And would be great to share your experience as a refugee in Sweden with us.
