“Aerial bombs started flying, my son shouted, ‘Let’s run into the field, we won’t survive here!’”
Tamara Nakonechna lived half her life in the same house where the world-famous “cockerel from Borodianka” came from. The five-story building on which a Russian plane dropped a bomb on March 1, 2022 was destroyed to the ground. Just like Tamara’s three-room apartment.
The high-rise building was once built by her husband, like many other buildings in the village. Unfortunately, they were also damaged by shelling.
While recording this interview, the woman’s son and grandson dug up an icon of the Archangel Michael in the ruins. Embroidered with beads. The woman considers this a miracle because all other belongings burned. The monument to Archangel Michael in the center of Borodianka also stayed intact.
