She lived there with her husband, her daughter, and her son. On the first day of the invasion, when many people were leaving the capital, Evgenia, on the contrary, was going to Kyiv. That’s how she escaped the occupation.

While she and her children were in evacuation, and her husband was defending the country, the house of the Gapchinskys was plundered and damaged... The invaders stole not only the comfort and cosiness that the artist had carefully created with her own hands. The money collected for the dream also vanished...
