Opinion by Iuliia Mendel: How my aunt’s village is celebrating liberation from the Russians
Sometimes the Russians did stupid things. Once, they drove down to the part of the village overlooking the estuary and just started shooting into the water. I remember my aunt Antonina trying to understand why they were doing that. But she was afraid to ask the Russians themselves.
“Without him we were left to fend for ourselves,” my aunt told me, almost crying. “Nobody needs us here now.” For months, we comforted each other by making plans for me to return to Stanislav, the village with its beautiful rock formations along the estuary, after liberation. But the long months of war made that seem like an impossible dream. And when the Russians left, we were worried they would leave nothing but destruction in their wake, just as they had done after retreating in Donbas.
