"Everything is erased"

The death of loved ones, illness, deception, betrayal, war is only part of what happened to Vika over her 26 years. But you can’t give up Vika - an important goal is ahead

We help the aisist to help

In the room on the second floor of the cottage on the outskirts of Yekaterinburg is warm, light and clean. A ten -month -old Danya crawls on the floor, periodically climbing onto the sofa, and then on his mother’s stomach. Vika at the eighth month. “So far I don’t know who, on the last ultrasound he was in such a position that the doctor did not see anything. So there will be a surprise, ”she smiles.

This is her fourth child. Give birth to Vick in August, but she has neither registration, nor citizenship, nor a medical policy, so she is not even registered in a female consultation. Sasha, the father of Dani and the baby who had not yet been born, is now in prison: he had a fight with a guy, he received a concussion, sued him, Sasha did not appear: he did not want to miss the work so as not to be fired - and now, nine months of prison. Dan and pregnant Vika did not mitigate circumstances: according to the documents, they nobody for him.

In October, Sasha should go out. He promises to pick up Vika, officially marry and return to Polevskaya, a small city on an hour drive from Yekaterinburg, where they managed to live in a Sashina apartment, until he was sent to prison and mother -in -law did not drive Vika and Danya to the street.

Donetsk

Vika was born in Donetsk. When she was five years old, my mother died. “She had heart failure, and then she paralyzed,” recalls Vika. “I hardly remember the devil of her face.” I only remember how dad carried her in his arms. In the end, she was so light and fragile that he lifted her with his chair and carried her. He loved her very much. And then I suffered very much. ”

A few years later, the father married again, and the stepmother moved to their house with her daughter, the same age of Vicki. The relationship was complex. According to Vika, the new woman was pitching from her father’s father, she bought things only for her daughter, and Vika toned them. Father pulled back: "Understand yourself." It became unbearable to be at home - and a tall, strong Vika was carried away by athletics to stay in school as long as possible. “It became for me an outlet, all these fees, competitions, communication with coaches and a team. There I forgot about the problems of the house. "

When she was 14, she wanted to live separately. Father rented a room and once a week brought her food. But the relationship has completely deteriorated. “He went into himself more and more. And I was very offended at him. " Vika grew alone, no one taught her how to live, build relationships and make decisions.

At the next medical board, Vika said that she could no longer play sports: heart failure, like her mother. For Vika it was a blow. The only bright part of her life ended. At 16, the girl left Donetsk to start all over again.

“Donetsk always seemed to me a village, and when I realized that nothing was holding me there anymore, I decided to go to Russia,” Vika looks with a smile in the window for trees, hills and lake. - I was still hot there all the time, I wanted to be cooler in the climate. Therefore, when I met on the Internet with a guy from Tyumen, she was doubly happy. ”

Tyumen

At first they corresponded, and then Vika came to him. Lesha drove her to nature, to the country to friends. He was older, experienced, attentive and caring, recalls Vika: “I never had anything like it, I seemed to be in a fairy tale. For the first time, I felt like someone's back, took care of me and took care of me. ”

When Vika became pregnant, she was frightened. I was afraid that Lesha would not want a child. But he, on the contrary, said: “Give birth” - and Vika gave birth to Vadim. And a year later, Ksyusha. All this time they lived in the same apartment with Leshina Mom, and it was hard. “She constantly dictated to me how to raise children, prevented me from cooking, all the time criticized and tuned Lesha against me,” Vika sighs. - It got to the point that he sometimes did not come home for several days. And sometimes he came, but slept at the entrance in the car, just not to climb the apartment and not hear our quarrels. ”

All this time, Vika did not communicate with her father, but after the start of the war she was scared and went to Donetsk to check how he was. It turned out on the spot that his father divorced almost immediately after Vika left for Tyumen, was very worried about his daughter and did not know how to contact her, and then went into himself and washed down. And then he went to the hospital with a heart attack - and after the discharge disappeared. It was most painful to find out what he wanted to call, but did not know where. “He died, probably somewhere, completely alone. And I never had time to tell him how I missed and loved him. And now nothing. Everything is erased. And the city is also erased. ”

Alien people entered Vicki's home, who did not even let her go to the threshold. They waved to her documents about property - they say, the father had long sold this house to them. Vika was in such horror that she did not even understand. She wanted to take at least something as a keepsake, but the tenants threw everything out for a long time. “I have nothing left, even photographs of my father and mother.”

For several months, Vika lived with her friend-because of the fighting they did not let out from the country. It was rare to call Lesha and the children in Tyumen, and when it was called, his mother took the phone and screamed so that Vika would not return. The streets familiar from childhood turned into ruins, shells flew over the house every day. “At first it’s not even scary, as if a salute,” says Vika. - And when a fragment gets out the window, it throws it from the kitchen to the corridor with an explosive wave, then it’s scary. But then you quickly get used to it. Already by sound you know that in a minute he will fuck, and you know where to run. We ran out into the stairwell and hid in a box-a grandmother, her dog, friend, her son and me. The husband of a friend was killed by a shell on the street - he went to the store for bread and did not return. "

Vika left at the first opportunity, but in Tyumen no one was waiting for her. Leshina's mother finally convinced her son to educate Vadim and Ksyusha himself, so at first Lesha asked Vika to write a refusal from the children, and when she did not agree, he just stopped letting her home. And Vika was left on the street - without money and documents: the mother -in -law hid her passport at home and refused to give.

In the newspaper, Vika saw an announcement that there was a social hotel in Yekaterinburg, where you can work for food and housing and take it without documents. She took the bus and drove.

“It was terrible there, it was just a stitch, but I had to not die on the street, think of what to do next and how to return the children,” recalls Vika. There she met Sasha: he worked at a construction site nearby. Red, cheerful, her peer - does not look like Lesha at all, but also kind to her, as at first he. He took her from the “brothel” and took her to his apartment in Polevsky. But peaceful life did not last long: Sasha was imprisoned.

And then the mother intervened again. “While he was still with us, he somehow kept her at a distance and did not allow her to intervene at anything,” says Vika. -She lived with some new man, they both drank and behaved madly. And then Sasha was closed, and they began to break into the apartment at night to Danya and me. I was already pregnant again, and I was very scared. I did not know where to run for help. "

A friend advised to contact the social service in Polevsky, and there Vika was sent to the public organization “Aistenok”, which helps women with children in difficult life situations. So two months ago, Vika and Danya found themselves in the crisis center of the fund, where several more mothers with children live. Each has its own room, removed in the house and cook everything in turn, a psychologist is on duty every day here. When necessary, a lawyer arrives to help women with documents, he will help Vika. And every day, the fund employees bring food here and everything that is needed for children: diapers, toys, clothes.

"Aistenok"

“If not for them, I don’t know what would happen,” Vika's voice trembles. - I did not know what this happens in our world. That there are people who do not care what will happen to you. "

Vicki has a clear plan of action. To give birth, restore documents and resolve cases with the immigration service, meet Sasha from prison and leave to live in Polevskaya. And hope that drunken relatives will not interfere with them. And the goal is to return their children. Vika really wants to do all this, and in this she will help her “aist”.

Life does not always depend only on us. Sometimes misfortunes from outside interfere in it, and sometimes the circumstances in which we form, make us make one decision, and not another.

If Vikina Mom had not died. If her father found the strength to protect her daughter. If the war had not begun. And a dozen more “if” Vikin’s life, then perhaps she would not have been where she was. But the past cannot be changed. But the future - you can try. In this, organizations such as "Aistenok" help in this.

All the help that is provided to women is free. The Aistenok picks them up at the most difficult moments of their life and does everything so that mothers do not remain on the street, and children - orphans. Please support the organization’s work - issue a monthly donation. And then, despite all the “if”, Vicki and others will have a chance for a normal life.
