It was in the morning, at approximately 06:30.
They shell us, we already got used to having our ears pricked up.
He went to the workshed, I was preparing breakfast.
and he was in the workshed.
He was tinkering around, he always finds work for himself.
And here the cruel shelling started.
And he wanted to go into the house, and he came here. And it is here that it caught him.
He entered the house, and he said "it caught me".
I laid him flat, I was panicking, I didn't know what to do.
Bardachev: So it was a bullet, yes?
Woman: Yes, a bullet. The doctor said it was 7.62×39mm.
What is this bullet? It means that it's a big one.
And he lied on the sofa, and afterwards he felt bad, bad, bad,
and I didn't know what to do, I called my neighbours from that street.
They called an ambulance, and the ambulance called the militia,
because there was shelling and the ambulance couldn't come.
The militia came and took him, brought him to the crossroads,
put him in the ambulance, and he was brought to Kalinin hospital for an operation.
Bardachev: And what is the year of birth of your husband?
Woman: 1955, we are pensioners. Now I will show you the t-shirt. The hole is very interesting.
Bardachev: And what is his condition like now?
Woman: Very bad, he is under anaesthetic, he had surgery. It entered from the right-hand side.
As the doctor said, it touched a lung, and it lodged into the chest not far from the heart.
They said that his chest was full of blood, all the blood entered into there.
He said "we operated on him just in time, it went well", he said they did everything they could.
They removed the bullet, which they still have. They will hand it over on request.
And here people already say that he was hit in the belly,
and the OSCE said he was hit in a different place.
Bardachev: And the OSCE Mission came to your house?
Woman: Nobody came, right now I was called by the investigative committee.
It is also the OSCE that said that my husband wasn't at home, but somewhere else.
Nothing, anywhere.
Bardachev: I.e. the OSCE Mission still hasn't come...
Woman: No, nobody.
Here it is. You see?
It is the same hole on the body, we're used to seeing on TV circular holes.
While here it is elongated. They fly in a different way. And I don't know.
It entered from the right-hand side, while the heart is on the left.
It passed through the lung, and became lodged in the chest close to the heart.
It means that it came from the South-West.
As is said, we got used to living in a war, we run away from these bullets.
I will show you what we collected, here we have our own collection.
Bardachev: And tell me, what about the ceasefire?
Woman: We don't feel it. Today there is supposed to be a ceasefire. They shelled all night.
And in the morning, by 6 A.M. generally it quietens, at least some silence.
And now war concretely re-started. I.e. this shelling.
Do you see him?
Bardachev: Yes.
I.e. recently the shelling became more frequent?
Woman: It is periodic.
Come to see what I collected, here we have this place, you see, the windows are broken here.
All of this we collected from our home.
Here we have a kitchen, a gazebo, workshed, and it all is consistent with the Marinka [UAF controlled] direction.
All of this we collected at our home.
From under the bench, from the doorstep, we scoop it up,
here are machine gun rounds, shrapnel.
We found this here after August 15th.
My neighbours roof was swept away, and this flew across the house.
And if it flew into our roof...
And all this we find under the bench, or it is wedged somewhere.
We are at least fenced off by something.
At least something remained integral.
Such a one like this flew into the workshop into some iron.
It lodged like that into the iron, here is this white powder.
Bardachev: Incendiary?
Woman: Yes, thank you.
And this one flew into the roof literally, recently - what is it? Is it aluminium, what can it be?
I don't know, there we patched-up the roof.
We find the casings, it is an explosive bullet. Even the little one is explosive.
Here are these little ones. And which one of these is 7.62×39mm? These ones?
Bardachev: This one - 5 and something... Here they are...
Woman: They are strange, this one is big, and these strange ones we found on the roof.
Look - they are like fritted.
Bardachev: like beaten...
Woman: This hit the roof. I found it on the roof.
Here is such a collection.
We adapted ourselves, where can we go, we live.
We run like hares, we have an allotment, we grow tomatoes.
Bardachev: What is your dream?
Woman: That the war finishes as soon as possible. That is my only dream.
We will always have the last toast for the soonest peace.
Everybody wants to live.
I want to see my children, my grandchildren. I live only with my husband, thank God the children are far away.
Such is life.
