Olena is a teacher from Maksymilianivka, Maryinka district. On February 24, 2022, the children still came to her classes. Her husband had already come under fire in Maryinka. On the 28th, we lost contact with him.

A month later, the war hit Olena's home village. Shells fell nearby, and one of her students was killed. The child's funeral was the last straw. The Yanushevskys moved to Dnipro, where they have lived ever since. Olena continues to teach, now online.
