Alla is a publisher and a resident of Kyiv, who stayed in her hometown with her husband after the beginning of the invasion. Almost immediately, the couple began to collect materials, publications, and testimonies of the resistance of ordinary people against russian aggression. Alla remembers how empty Kyiv was, how they greeted each person they met. In the fall of 2022, the woman and her husband came under fire in Shevchenko Park and miraculously survived. She is sure that if you are a business owner and you are outside your country, your business will never flourish. And the war also taught Alla that one must "live now for now" and not postpone anything for later.
