As the mother of the family, Polina, noted, this was last spring.

“Even though we were in the basement, we were in a private house.

You need to eat.

The shops, of course, were good, but, firstly, everything there was three times more expensive... Spring has come, but there is no improvement in the situation, it is not clear when everything will end, we need to prepare for the next winter - we planted potatoes ", she explained.

According to her, shells repeatedly flew over their garden.

And once a rocket hit not far from their house, miraculously no one was hurt.

“Before our eyes, it falls down - and everything is like in slow motion: dust rises up, stones.

We are standing, roughly speaking, in an open area.

They wouldn’t have time to run to hide somewhere, they would fall on the spot,” noted Polina.

The family lived for almost two years “running” from the house to the basement, going out briefly to cook dinner.

To entertain Dima, his mother read him fairy tales and taught him letters and numbers.
