(ENG SUBS)
1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,360
......they took old people. Their house burned.

2
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:10,320
There was a direct hit on the house, right?

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:18,020
In fact, as the owner of the house says, they fired purposefully.

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,480
They see people in the yard and immediately began firing on that people. One blas, second blast....

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,640
You mean, they see movement and they begin to shelling.

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,580
Yes, yes, yes.

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,640
I call to "МЧС" (Emergency) because we must evacuate the old people from there somehow. From burning house.

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,220
They tell us - We can`t go there because there they shoot now and is not safe for us.

9
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:42,200
But I go there alone and evacuate the old people.

10
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:43,560
When was that?

11
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:44,620
Yesterday.

12
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:46,260
Actualy was 2 days ago.

13
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,760
The old people refuse to leave their home

14
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:52,360
Grany say: -I won`t leave my home until burn everything.

15
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,720
Why they should sit there and wait?

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,100
- How often you have been shellings here?
- Every day.

17
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,360
We live here at the day.

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,560
What is that place?

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,100
That is our kitchen. We made some food here.

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,680
We eat here.

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,220
At the night we go to sleep in basement. (underground)

22
00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:16,220
Why you cook here?

23
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:21,080
Because my house ...... I will show you...... is useless at the moment.

24
00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:23,760
Why you not cook there?

25
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:28,720
Because we don`t have light, Gas and water.

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,000
And Now there is not possible to cook or live.

27
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:39,020
My roof is punctured from other side and leaking.

28
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:40,600

How many people cook here?

32
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,040

33
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:09,960

00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:14,580
But other people come too. Today my neighbor also come.

35

38
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,460
So many people live here and you don`t have gas, water.

00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,300
But all people who live here, they also make food at the same place?

40
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:44,500

51
00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:49,820
The basement was used as basement before.

00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,280
My apartment is on second floor.

53
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:55,500

We was switched off last year when shelling start.

00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:23,600
On May 26 the war begin. And I was very scared.

71
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,800
Because when i was with my granddthauther and we come to school.

72
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,260
Her teacher say: - Come little later to take her.

73
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:35,480
Usualy i take her from school on 13:45h. And teacher say: - Come to take you granddaughter on 14:00h.

74
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,840
Because we will celebrate the holidays. (Completion of the school year)

75
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,460
And on 13:55h i hear (bah - bah) I run to the street

76
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Actualy i was on my balcony.

77
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,720
And i saw helicopter fly arround us. Inside the helicopter was a soldier with AK. I was confused.

78
00:05:54,860 --> 00:06:01,320
Then i jump to the street and ask my neighbor Kolya.: - Are we under attack?

79
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,280
He say: - Yes Airport is under shelling.

80
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,260
I was so scared. I run to take my granddaughter. She runs against me.

81
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,580
- Grany.......... why you crying? And i hug her and continue crying.

82
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:20,400
then i ask her: And why You crying?
- I saw you cry and i start cry too.

83
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,260
Then we siting on my house. Sit and crying. And i told her: Vika, dot worry. I cry just like that.

84
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,220

00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:49,340
After that we accept as normal that shelling.

88
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Sometime we go to 71-st street (right next to us) to sleep there on my son.

89
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,080
And my granddaughter teach there after school.

90
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Because here as you see. Is impossible to do anything.

91
00:07:06,940 --> 00:07:08,940
And we come here at the day.

92
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:13,040
Because on summer my granddaughter and her father.

93
00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:18,280
When I took my pension and they went to the market.

94
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,520
And she say: - Daddy buy me chickens, buy me chickens.

And she say: - Easy, dont touch my chickens. Nobody can`t touch my chickens.

97
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,060
So, we are here at the day. And night we go to sleep at 71-st street.

98
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,220
Right here "GRAD" fall and blast my windows.

99
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,120
What is that?
- That is a "Grad" rocket.

100
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:39,580

But we dont have anything at the moment.

110
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,580
Perhaps we are not included in the list. Or........ Idont know what is the reason.

111
00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:54,360
In the end of September or in begining on Oktober we We filed documents in Yasinovata city.

They told us: -After tree weeks will come special Commission to describe the damage. And then to begin to repair our homes.

But nobody come at the moment.

00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,180
Two month already, nobody came.

116
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,300
And you get humanitarian aid?

117
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,420
Humanitarian aid carried Czechs and the Red Cross.

118
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,380
They cut off the lights. On May 26 they start to shelling us....... Month later...

119
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,360
On June 27 (month ago) they cut the light

120
00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:53,980
After two hours water was stoped.

121
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,960
And after a week gas was stoped too. Until now.

122
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,720
Almost 2 years.

123
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:13,520
On January 21 they destroy our houses and that street.

Are you go to school?
- Yes.

143
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,320
But how, school here is not working.

144
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,860
Teachers come and take us to school. They are from Doneck.

145
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:42,180
While they pass from here they take you. And after school they bring you back at home. - Yes, Yes.

146
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,580
In which grade you are?
- I am 4-th and she is 7 grade.

147
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:52,380
Thank you a lot.

148
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:56,740

149
00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:01,120
- I am Malina.
- Malina and Vika

150
00:14:05,180 --> 00:14:13,560
What is the situation at the moment?
- On November 18 the house on that old people was burned from shell.

151
00:14:14,140 --> 00:14:16,540
Barely we got them out of there.

152
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:23,660
Emergency didn`t come, because the bombing. And we escape and survive somehow.

153
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,300
And now they start to bombing again more frequently.

154
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,680
And they shell from heavy artilery.

155
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,540
And that is the true.

156
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Here they shell less than other side of the village.

157
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:54,500
On that direction, streets "Sovietskaya", "Drujba", "Mir", "Pobeda", "60-years October", "Novoselskaya". They bombing that place now.

158
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:56,960
People there suffered badly.

159
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,820
There is a people who living at the moment? - Yes, they still live there.

160
00:15:02,260 --> 00:15:06,760
All houses in area are destroyed, but they still live in that area.

161
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,420
Because if they leave, that mean they will loose everything that they have.

162
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,180
I must be honest, If somebody try to help them and try to evacuate them, they will try to escape and will return.

163
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,980
Do you have open markets here?

164
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Oh girl.......

165
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:33,860
You must be joking. We are half a year no electricity, gas and water.

166
00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:38,120
