"I said, 'I won't die until the war is over." I survived previous war "

We bought the house when we retired, 30 years ago. I retired first, and then he [the husband] retired. And we bought this house. I didn’t want to, but he said: "We will buy ourselves a summer house."

He lived here and I lived there. I would come in the morning, work around the household and go to Saksaganskiy. I walked on and on before I realized that my legs were already hurting. So I moved here. Probably, as a result, I’m still able to walk. Even today I went there to work on the strawberries, processed a saline, brought grass to the chickens.

I also have chickens. I bought both chicken and ducklings. I didn't want to at first. I said: "It's hard for me." And then I went and bought it. I love them, that's all.

It's difficult, of course. The most difficult, very difficult. Today I made him [my husband]: "Go and cut me some grass." And he walks with sticks. He went for a little - he helped me to cut the grass a little.

Houses were shaking. I took a pillow and went to the basement. And the grandfather went to bed and laid on the bed. Several days have passed, he said: "Don't go there, if you get to the basement, you will have all the jars will fall on you." Well, I went and got the pillow. I haven't gone anywhere. I stayed in the house [remained during the shelling].

It rumbles! Cover your ears and don't listen, but you can still hear. So much it rumbles! We were afraid, of course, it was scary, very scary.

I said, "I won’t die until the war is over." Enough! I survived the previous war [World War II]. I was small, but I remember it. I remember how we were in the basement; I still remember that war.
