" To talk to HB, Ada Rogovtseva, one of the most revered actresses of Ukraine, turns on from her home near Kiev. There, after escaping the invaders from the capital, it spends time free from traveling in Ukraine and volunteering. Video of the day in July Rogovtseva turned 85 she met, as she wanted - on stage. Over the last two months, the actress has been traveling in Ukraine, presenting a new documentary from the East.
It is a tape about the modern Ukrainian struggle for independence, the purpose of which is to remind that the war for Ukraine began eight years ago, and its price was already high then. For Rogovtseva, this is the second Great War for her life, and today she does a lot to win. The actress tells how in the first month of a large -scale invasion of her Kiev apartment turned into a place where the defenders of Kiev could wash things, relax and eat.
All the following months, like eight years before, she travels to the country, inspiring compatriots with his thoughts and faith. Today is an important contribution to the victory of each of us, says the actress in conversation with HB. - You still have experienced the Second World War, now you are experiencing Russia's war against Ukraine. What experience did it become for you? - Those who survived that war could not imagine that people would ever experience what we experienced in those years.
And although the war then Buda is completely different, as well as now - everywhere bombs fell, we were in occupation, for some time we had Germans in the house, and all the horrors that were only possible, fell to the fate of my family. Through the city we had a concentration camp of our prisoners of war, it was scary - they said that people even ate the viscera.
So my childhood went among the fact that someone was able to pull out of that concentration camp, and these saved ones often died with us in the stove, and we tried to treat their wounds, rescue, rake worms, filled with ash, and all the medicines were . . . But some of those of those were People, they survived and came to us after the war, thanked for life. I then realized that even your little help, everything you can do, you have to do, because it sometimes saves a person of life.
Now I am alarmed that we all have to be mobilized, everyone in our city, wherever it is: at the table where he eats, in the bed where he sleeps - he should come to the rescue. Both in general, and the individual who needs this help. But the war was also terrible, but the post -war times were more terrible.
The war ended, and the famine began, mental manifestations of people who survived it all, because healthy people were not left after the war, so while it was somehow balanced, I became quite adult. I have survived one war, and now I have a friend. I survived Chernobyl, and now they shoot on energy. So what talks about my life and my destiny and what I'm afraid of? I'm afraid of those who are younger than me, who else to live and live.
