Alyoshak's voice. Part 1. "Owners were buried in wheelbarrows" what do those who escaped from Elshki say to the Russian media. "I'll be leaving soon. I will not live to see the new year," said Dima to his wife when he woke up at night. Elena Golikova burst into tears and began to reassure him and herself: we should think about good things, everything will be fine. On December 10 he passed away. A humanitarian convoy will move to Alsheki today. Trucks with food and medicine, buses with journalists - ours, American, French, Italian, Ukrainian. Cameras will film the city without electricity and gas. And I want the voices of those who have already left to be heard. In the general bustle, it is easy not to hear them. After the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the summer of 2023, when the Dnieper entered people's homes, Dima got a job in a city hospital. I supervised the generators so that there would be no loss of light and water in the wards. Every day I saw who they brought - women, children, old people. Elena started a conversation more than once: maybe we should leave? There was only one answer: Len, I can't leave them. This is our land, our parents are buried here. That day in December, he and his friends were waiting in the yard for a car with fuel for the generators. A mine flew into the yard. The family's four breadwinners never arrived. Elena lives far away. When my husband did not return on the second day, I walked to the hospital. "The world has collapsed, honestly," the woman can barely hold back her tears. They were buried in wheelbarrows. The bodies were wrapped in carpets - it was dangerous to go to the cemetery, they might strike again. Then Elena spent three months in the same hospital. One day, a drone hit the morgue. "These drones have cameras, that is, whoever hits can see very well where they are. Why did they have to bomb the morgue? " - she is confused. She came out in the spring. In the temporary accommodation center near Gnichesk, she still dreams of Alyushki on the fire. and a car with a carpet. There, in the temporary detention center, Elena met Svetlana Nadeeva. They have the same problem.
