I am probably the craziest character because in 2022, fleeing shelling in my hometown, I traveled through half of Europe to enter the country that destroyed my reality. But the choice was only between the fact that on one side of the border I had already buried all my relatives and my mental stability, and on the other was a family that needed me just as much as I needed them. Now I am experiencing another rift in reality in the Russian Federation. It is difficult to convince even my husband of things that seem obvious, let alone my uncle who served in the USSR. It seems that no one supports the war, they realize the mess around them, but they believe that there are smart officials who will either save us or at least not ruin us.
