Yeah, there are documentaries on YT where they follow girls from similar backgrounds to Valeria and they all dream, audition and search for the life that she's gotten. They have "modelling schools" in rural Russia, the girls' poor families hope that their daughter will make it to Europe in modelling and become rich & famous OR meet and marry a rich older guy. That's literally their dream. Valeria is just one of those.I heard it the same 'advice' all the time since I was 12 and until I moved from Russia. It's 100% cultural.
