I was born on June 8, 1946, in the village of Novotroitske, Donetsk region.
Description
Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.
I grew up in the village. I helped my parents with household chores. When I was 8, I lost one eye. I received many treatments for this problem. These treatments took a lot of time.
Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?
First, I worked as a salesperson. Then I entered a technical college in Donetsk. After graduation, I worked as an inspector and later – an occupational safety and health officer. It was difficult to work with only one eye, but I already had a family, and I needed an income to support it.
Tell about your present life.
I fled from Donbas in April of 2022. I moved with my daughter and granddaughter to Kyiv – to stay closer to our relatives. We are renting an apartment. My town of Druzhkivka is constantly under fire. Windows and balcony of my apartment have been damaged. When will this war end? I would really love to go back home (if there is a home to come back to).
