Stories that you confided to us
In April 2022, Maria Fomyntseva from Horenka (Kyiv Oblast) and her dog Bonia became social media stars. They became popular because of a photo taken by Oleh Pereverzev of an elderly woman with a dog wearing a headscarf. According to 80-year-old Maria Yukhymivna, it was the scarf that saved Bonia from a concussion.
During the Second World War, Maria was orphaned, having lost both her parents. She never thought that she would have to survive a war again.
