"I used to live with my parents, but after having a child, I started seriously thinking about my own home. Back then, the 'Far Eastern Hectares' program had just been launched for Buryatia, and all the media were advertising that you could choose land and get up to a hectare for free. I looked it up—and sure enough, there was a plot in Khoronkhoy, right next to my parents'. I contacted the administration and became the first recipient in the district," says Anastasia Gabdulvagapova.
"The “Hectare” program has become a solution for ordinary people—it allows them to obtain land quickly and free of charge. Just go and do it: whether you want a house or a farm. I received land and started building a house—and then my neighbors started choosing, asking questions. Now that we have our own place, we want to use the program again and get an additional plot," she added.
