On February 22, Galina lived in Nikolskoye, she had three children - Dasha, Ksyusha and Ruslan. Her husband Alexander was in Volnovaka at the time, and when it all started, he could not return. Galina and her children spent a month under shelling, eating only what was in the basement. But at the end of March, Alexander made his way to the village, it was on the 30th. On the 31st, he and Galina's brother Andrei cleaned the yard. The day was hot and sunny, Galina heard them laughing. Then they got on a tractor that walks behind to take out the garbage, and Galina's father followed them - he wanted to ask why they were having so much fun. Suddenly he saw that they turned to a mined road, he shouted, but there was already an explosion. Galina was only able to identify her brother's body; She recognized her husband from the tag on his new jeans. They buried themselves, they managed to dig only one grave, and they buried Alexander and Andrei together; Anyway, they were friends all their lives. Two weeks later a neighbor came and they had tea in the yard. Dasha and Ruslan entered the house. Galina thought that nothing bad would happen to them anymore, she had already started filling out the DPR documents, she was even going to fry pies with peas in the evening. A shell whistled above them and there was silence. Galina ran into the house. Dasha was lying in the corridor and did not move, and Ruslan had no legs, one was lying somewhere under the rubble, and the other was hanging on his skin. But Dasha was intact. Galina grabbed the sheets and swaddled her son. The grandfather loaded his grandchildren into the car and drove away. Ruslana's mother sat her on her lap and held Dasha's hand, although she did not move. And suddenly the girl squeezed her hand very hard. On the way they met an ambulance. The nurse jumped out when she heard children dying in the car. She picked up Dasha's clothes and said, “This is it. "That's all," and moved on to Ruslan. He was conscious and kept saying: "Dasha. where is my dasha? Only Galina always worked hard, and Dasha raised him. The nurse slipped Rusik a packet of Alyonka's chocolates, and suddenly he stopped crying, he had been eating only canned goods for several months, and now he fell silent and looked at the chocolate in surprise.
