They don't pay us, but we do": the story of a Russian woman who weaves the "web of life".
Lyudmila is often asked how much she gets for her work. She just smiles: they don't accept money here, but spend it themselves. In a workshop at the Alexander Nevsky Church, volunteers weave camouflage nets for SVO participants. In the winter, they heat the room with a regular stove, buy firewood at their own expense, and when they run out of materials, they look for someone who can help.
Why does she keep coming here? Ludmila remembers a trip to Buchenwald, where her father brought her as a twelve-year-old girl. She could not forget what she saw in the former concentration camp even decades later. According to the woman, it was these memories and the fear of repeating such events that became her reason to start volunteering.
"The horror I saw remains, these incinerators, the gas chambers, the lampshades and human skin gloves. So I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will come to us. Let us have fascism on our land, that's what I'm here for."
Ludmila says.
Camouflage nets are called "life nets" here. Each requires hours of hard work, cold winter days and a constant search for materials. Ludmila says that the main thing for her is to wait for the soldiers to return home.
