“In Kharkov, Russia bombed my house, and in St. Petersburg they threw me out into the street.” Kristina Safonova tells the story of the refugee, which has lost her housing twice

Through the fault of the Russian authorities, millions of Ukrainians lost their home and became forced refugees. Propaganda repeats that the Kremlin is fighting with the Nazis, but not with the fraternal people and citizens of Ukraine will always be good in Russia.

In fact, Ukrainian children are taken to Russia against their will, sent to orphanages, re -educated,forcibly forced to love a new homeland . It was for this that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant of Vladimir Putin.

And adult citizens of Ukraine are filtered, delayed and sent for custody for the slightest suspicion of non -properness, illegally hold for months in dungeons without charges and often beat and try .

Those who are more lucky are waiting for a lot of additional bureaucratic problems, and they can easily remain in Russia without documents, rights and housing.

Kristina Safonova, special correspondent of Medusa, tells one of these stories - about pensioner Maria Nikolaevna from Kharkov.
