Tetiana Aliokhina bought a small and cute red wallet in Donetsk having received her first salary at a new job place. She immediately fell in love with it. And Tetiana’s wallet could have been used for a long time...
However, in 2014, in the chaos and muddle of the evacuation, Tetiana’s handbag was stolen in Berdiansk. With all the documents and her fancied wallet with money and banking cards inside.
On the advice of the police, together with her son, she went to look for the stolen handbag around the place of theft. And she found it – an empty handbag with an empty wallet...
For the next five years, her lovely wallet faithfully served Tetiana. ‘Every time I took it in my hands, I returned home in my thoughts,’ Tetiana told the Foundation staff when passing this memorable and dear thing to the museum. And now millions of people will learn this little story of a simple thing taken from Donetsk, stolen in Berdiansk and regained by its owner.
