Hello to all. Today we are going to visit one woman, bring her firewood. I've made a video recording of this moment, so you could understand who this firewood is for that I've sometimes told you about, in what conditions people live, so we are now in Polissia, I'm going to show now what's going on here, ok?
Look, how beautiful it is, sh**, there's no life, it's been destroyed. A house, look, look, then farther. Such an impression that we've come to the scene of shooting of some horror apocalyptic movie. Last time I saw similar things in Chornobyl, the villages when they were still standing. Look, here, there, there's nothing. This used to be a street, this house is gone, that's gone, no house here, either. Shevchenko [street]. Gone, gone, gone...Gone here, look, no house over here. All... Here, too, you see, it's grown over already, and it's forgotten that here used to be a house. Here's for you to understand what residents are here. Here you are... Here, look, a whole street used to be, and now there's nothing left. Houses, houses, houses, used to be [here]. Look, look, there was a house, here was a house, and over there was a house, and there's nothing, all [gone].
- And the old woman... The old woman's been waiting and waiting...
-How are you here?
-Oh, God... There's [unclear] standing over there, [unclear], I can't walk.
-And have you fled [from here]?
-No!
-So you did stay here like that when all this...
-So I did. It nearly killed me here. But if it had killed me, it would be better. And now they won't kill me.
-Well, come on, how can it be better?
-My son remained[buried?] in Pokuttia. There's nobody. I have no one. And so I live.
-And many houses have been burnt, right?
-Yes, they have burnt, have been ruined, all. Me, too, I didn't have a single [unclear]. There was no roof at all. And I had been struggling, struggling, to save every penny for my death, but already when I patched up the house, then, maybe, now I could die [unclear]... A miracle of the Lord. But, I say, somehow I bought roofing materials, and some people, volunteers came, well, actually, they gave me 20 sheets [of roofing], and the rest I [bought] with my money.
-And do you plant a kitchen garden or something? What do you eat?
-No, the garden, I walked like this, and still planted the garden. And the potatoes, I worked to plant, and carrots. I worked to plant all for myself. I have food, and here Zoia looks after us, brings us food, too.
-Is this your social worker?
-Yes.
-I've met her today, she's good.
-Zoia.
-Yes, she's very nice.
-She looks after us, but I still do things by myself, I take care, when that boy comes [unclear], I can [cook borscht for him? - unclear]... Everything was destroyed! And here everything's burning, I [grabbed] a scarf, whatever small money I had, a bag, and was running along the road, not knowing, what to do. And we were three persons like that, who was left in this part of the village, and on that end, probably, were also three left. Nobody took us away, and then they came to evacuate us, when the soldier said it was over, and we could sleep safely, he said, there would be no shooting.
-I see.
- There would be no shooting, but when we were sitting in that Nina's house, lying and sitting,, [we saw] that the house was on fire. I got scared, and began shouting at Nina, I said: "Nina, we're on fire! Let's flee from the house! Let's flee from the house!" And then, also, it's hard to get up from bed, Nina's yelling, "I can't get up!" Somehow we did get up, but then [says], it's not here burning, it's [burning] on the river. And then we calmed down. Because what can one do, that has burned down, and that is burning again.
