Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is Nikita Titov's artwork. God bless all defenders of Ukraine who provide our opportunity to celebrate in the warm home under the protected sky.
Holodomor Museum keeps the memory of innocent Ukrainians killed with the man-made famine (known as Holodomor, the Great Famine of 1932-1933) organized by the soviet government. The number of the dead in the genocide varies from 4,5 to 10 million people, according to different researchers.
My late grandma remembered this horror for all her life. She was 8 that time. Her smaller sisters and brothers, 4 kids in our family, died from hunger in Holodomor. I remember that my grandma kept the packages full of dry bread in the nightstand till her last day.
90 years passed. The terrorist state of russia continues to commit its awful crimes, blackmailing the whole world with famine. Slogans like "Never again" are not working. They never did.
Absolutely.
Usual picture here in Kyiv: kids are playing "hide-from-the missile" game on the playground. However, there are many places in Ukraine where situation is much worse.
I played "Would you rather" with my daughter, who turned seven last month. Swings or bicycles? Minecraft or Lego? This sort of choices, typical for every second-grader.
I asked her "Would you rather go to the forest or to the sea?"
"Well, the forest is mined, so I'll go to the sea. I like it."
I hate that my daughter has to know such things now.
