“I survived the Drama Theater with my son, but my husband died. Then we took the corpses out of the Philharmonic every day”
She remembered for the rest of her life the white flash that caused the dome to collapse and her and her son to be pinned to the floor by the blast wave. Nataliia Hrebenetska and her son Yevhen are among the survivors of the airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater on March 16, 2022. Nataliia saw her husband three minutes before the explosion, as it turned out, for the last time. Mykhailo Hrebenetskyi died under the rubble of the theater. His closest people were unable to bury him, or even pull his body out from under the bricks and slabs. The russian shelling did not stop, and Nataliia had to save her son. On the same day, they moved to another hell, the Philharmonic.
