Hello,

here is a link to the story about some hard situation in Russia, middle 1990-s. The story is spoken to be not for women, but can be interesting as it is a witness of the person who was there.
The memories are translated in English, some corrections are produced, welcome to look through and may be to recommend what to improve.
