I'm tired. Every day, the emotional swing wears me down to the brim. Joy turns to pain, hope to disappointment, and the heart seems torn between light and darkness.
One of the most famous kobzars, according to legend, was Okhrim. He wandered through towns and villages, singing of the glory of the Cossacks and the bravery of Ukrainian people. But above all, he praised freedom – the spirit that lived in people's hearts even when enemies tried to crush their land. It was said that his songs held a mysterious power: when he sang, love for the homeland awakened in people's hearts, and the enemies felt fear. 1/3
Legend has it that the first kobzars were warriors who had lost their sight in battles for freedom. Seeing their bravery and suffering, God granted them a different kind of vision – an inner sight. They began to see the past and the future, hear the voices of their ancestors, and pass their words on to the people.1/2
Toretsk... There was life here - children's laughter, the warmth of home. There was joy... until Russia brought destruction, pain and death. International organizations remain silent. ..
In the morning, I prepare breakfast for Seva because he goes to boxing training every day. He studies on the second shift at school. By the way, at school, he studies a week at school, a week of online learning at home.
Why so? Because, unfortunately, the shelter at the school cannot accommodate all children during air alarm, so they study one week at home, one week at school.
As soon as Seva goes to training, Solomiya and I go to sleep a little more🤗 Have a nice day, everyone🫶
What I found today. Sweets from childhood. So that you understand, these are the kind of candies that the fillings pulled out of the teeth🤣 Have you had anything similar?
Do you see pictures in your head when you imagine something or think about something? I don't like to hold on to the handrails on stairs or other places, because in my imagination, all those germs from the handrail are climbing on me. Brrrrr. And I imagine all this so vividly😅
Solomiya is 7 months today. She started playing very interestingly, laughing to the toy. She has new emotions. Don't look at her dirty T-shirt, she just ate a kiwi😋 By the way, the video shows Solomiya's first lower teeth😁
Meet my cat Volodymyr Ivanovych, who has always been the soul of the company and a connoisseur of book adventures. He lived his bright life with pleasure, wore stylish glasses, because he read a lot. His look, full of sly brilliance, will tell more than a thousand words. https://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyJewelryHelga
"The Slovo Building" is a legendary structure in Kharkiv, built between 1928 and 1930 to house Ukrainian writers, artists, and other cultural figures. It became a symbol of both the flourishing of Ukrainian culture in the 1920s and the tragedy of the "Executed Renaissance," as many of its residents faced repression under Soviet rule.
This was a five-story residential building with apartments designed for writers and their families.1/2
In the 1930s, Stalin's regime began actively persecuting the Ukrainian intelligentsia. The residents of the building became victims of mass arrests. Dozens were executed, sent to labor camps, or exiled.
By 1938, the inhabitants of forty apartments out of sixty-six were repressed. These events went down in history as the "Executed Renaissance" — the mass destruction of Ukrainian artists and cultural figures.
While Solomia is busy gnawing on a crab (don't worry, it's a toy), I'll share this beauty with you here. I started making this necklace in the summer, then put it aside. I finally did and topped it off with a choker. I like this look, and you?
