Visagino faces

The greatest asset of Visaginas — and perhaps its greatest mystery — is its people. The city was built by specialists from across the Soviet Union and beyond: engineers, scientists and construction workers, all leading professionals in their fields.

Visaginians are people with a unique, almost “cosmic” way of thinking. They can discuss nuclear physics, pick mushrooms just five minutes from home, and create international start-ups — all in the same breath.

So who are the people sharing this unique energy with the world today? Who are breaking old stereotypes and writing a new chapter in the city’s story?

In this article, we introduce you to Visaginas’ ambassadors — the people who inspire, create and make the world fall in love with this remarkable city in the heart of Lithuania’s forests.
