This is true, she was unique. I have been living with my grandmother for so many years and I can't remember a single quarrel. She was the universe for me. Grandmother, mother, friend and the most understanding and dear person with a big heart. She was loved by all the people who knew her: neighbors, friends, family. She fed the pigeons from her window on the ninth-floor and all the cats in the yard. She was generous and wise.

On March 1, I lost a connection with her, as did all the people in Mariupol with their loved ones.

Later we managed to get in touch with a neighbor, who told us that on March 24 my grandmother died in a basement and her son buried her in the yard, near to our house. This is the most horrible death. I'm afraid to imagine what she had to go through. Our house is completely destroyed.

They took everything!

We will always remember and love her. "

At the age of 85, the honorary citizen of the city, winner of the Vasyl Stus Prize, fashion designer of Lev Panchenko passed away. She is one of sixteen patriots who, despite Kremlin pressure, developed Ukrainian culture under Soviet censorship.
