Description :
"I can be killed, but I will not run to the basement anymore! I am so tired of this. I cross myself and say, if this is my destiny – let it be! One time, as I was standing in the doorway, the whole house was shaking, and tears were just coming down my face. " Lyubov, 63, worked in a local kindergarten for 26 years. She decided not to leave Pervomayske when the conflict started, and on some days she would spend 13 hours hiding in the basement. Lyubov now grows flowers in her "ice house", as she refers to her home, badly damaged by repeated shelling.
