© RIP HOPKINS / AGENCE VU HOME AND AWAY OUZBEKISTAN, 2002 29/07/02 Iulia Muza in Tashkent's Greek Community Centre. She is 19 years old. She is half Russian, half Greek and studies English and German at Tashkent's Pedagogical University. Her father's parents came here in 1949 following the communists' defeat in the Greek civil war. She will leave for Athens, Greece once she finishes her studies. Commentary - Iulia was very different from the other Greeks, more open and curious, as opposed to the other's suspicion. She behaved as if she had already left Uzbekistan, she gave the impression that she was Greek, in the sense of other Greeks I know and love - compared to the others in the centre who were "reserved" and suspicious - on their guard. She enjoyed being in front of the camera, behaving like an actress, pouting for the lens, putting on an extra layer of makeup for the occasion and brushing her hair. She was slightly uneasy at the same time as two elder men sat behind me watching the whole photographic procedure, not saying much, but whatever they said gave her a nervous laugh.
