Aleshki's voice. Part 1. "Husbands were buried in wheelbarrows" what do those who escaped from Elshki say to the Russian media. "I'll be gone soon. I will not live to see the new year," Dima told his wife when he woke up in the middle of the night. Elena Golikova burst into tears and tried to calm him and herself: think positive thoughts, everything will be fine. He died on December 10. A humanitarian convoy will move to Alsheki today. Trucks with food and medicine, buses with journalists—. Russian, American, French, Italian, Ukrainian. Cameras will film the city without electricity and gas. And I want the voices of those who have already escaped to be heard. In the general hustle and bustle, they are easily lost. After the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant blew up in the summer of 2023, when the Dnieper River flowed into people's homes, Dima found work at the city's hospital. He kept an eye on the generators to make sure the wards had electricity and water. Every day he saw who was brought. Women, children, elderly. Elena repeatedly raised the issue: maybe we should leave? The answer was always the same: "Lena, I can't leave them." This is our country; Our parents are buried here. That day in December, he and his friends were waiting in the yard for a truck with fuel for the generators. A mine landed in the yard. The family's four breadwinners were never seen again. Elena lives far away. When her husband did not return on the second day, she went to the hospital. "The world has collapsed, honestly," the woman said, barely holding back her tears. They buried them in wheelbarrows. The bodies were wrapped in carpets - going to the cemetery was dangerous; They could strike again. Elena then spent three months in the same hospital. One day, a drone hit the morgue. "These drones have cameras, so whoever hits them can see exactly where they hit. Why did they have to bomb the morgue? " she wonders.
