On the night of June 1, 2023, russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv. Three people were killed (including a child) and about 30 injured. The blast wave shattered Tetiana's apartment, and a deadly fragment of an Iskander missile flew a few centimetres from her temple. She considers that day to be her second birthday.

Tetiana has a PhD in Economics and teaches at the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics. She is constantly looking for new formats, meanings and messages to convey to her students. The interview with the educator was recorded during a visit to VOICES exhibition by the Museum of Civilian Voices, which features public interviews with famous Ukrainians in the field of national memory preservation.
