April 8, 2022. Bucha. Sophia, my friend's younger sister, could finally get out of the neighbor's basement, in which she hid more than a month, and return home. She found her home completely defeated by marauders. All the household appliances was carried out , even the fridge and old washing machine. Dear guests smashed the furniture, burned books (probably, to warmed in the flame of knowledge) and made a toilet in the nursery. But Sophia found her cat alive, and was glad to that.
