Kherson - the territory of fear nowhere else was it as difficult for me to work as in the Kherson area. Just try to interview employees of any hospital. I didn't succeed. No, no and not again! You just don't understand what kind of stuff you're playing. You will leave, but we will still live and work here! The doctor told me, clenching his fists and playing with the lumps on his face. I didn't need to be told twice. I already understood the situation very well, because only recently, 30 km from the front, we wanted to buy water in a store that the Russian army often visited. Instead of shelves with bread and milk, we were greeted by charred ruins. In one of the Ukrainian groups, where they publish the data of those who cooperate with the Russian authorities, their coordinates appeared and after two days "Baba Yaga" burned the store in the dumps. To be included in such a group is tantamount to a death sentence by the special services of Ukraine. And the population of our part of the Kherson region is rightly afraid to go there. But if it is not difficult for the punitive forces to reach those villages that until recently were considered hinterland villages, then you can imagine the pressure the residents of Alsheki were under. Kherson is located 40-50 meters above Alsheki. Accordingly, the radio horizon is ideal and UAVs fly into the window without problems. Balshki receives Ukrainian radio and TV and the SIM cards of Cavestar and Vodafone work. Before the evacuation, people were told that nothing good would await those who entered Russian territory. They will take their passports, the children and the men will be forced to sign a contract and will be sent to the Northern Military District. Some residents were called directly and explained that they only had a road to Ukraine. If they decide to stay, their home will be destroyed by the first UAV. At the beginning of October, 1200-1300 people lived in Alsheki. If you believe the Americans, 750 people left. Accordingly, 500-600 citizens remained in the city. Just imagine how much resilience you have to have to willingly stay on the front line, despite the threats.
