The article examines the impact of transnational interactions on the lives and professional choices of four Russians from Vietnamese-Russian families – writers Alexey Milkov and Eldar Sattarov, musician Vyacheslav Kovalev and film director Konstantin Fham-Malkin. The author analyzes four mixed families, in which the father is an ethnic Vietnamese, and the mother is a local resident: Russian / Tatar / Jewish. It is shown how children who grew up in such interethnic families, under the influence of various factors and circumstances, form an attitude to ethnicity – their Vietnamese origin, and make career choices.
