Roman recalls how immediately after the first explosions in Kyiv, he and his wife went to work. Roman is an employee of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve. And the next two days were remembered as endless work with objects that had to be dismantled and hidden. In total, there were two thousand such museum items.

After the historical monuments were moved to a safer place, Roman decided to leave. He returned to Kyiv on April 15, 2022 and saw an empty city.
