Festival Protasiv Yar

At the first festival in memory of Roman Ratushny, the "Protasiv Yar" , I heard words that became a guide for me and which I later quoted more than once, answering questions here in Germany. I will write them here, of course, not verbatim, but as I remembered them at the time: "And what will you do if the ruZZians occupy Kyiv? We will stay here and resist. And if they bomb everything and everyone? We will stay here and resist." This is how I remember the words of the lawyer, human rights activist and soldier Yevgenia Zakrevska. This is a calm and stubborn decision - we will stay and resist. This year, during a conversation-memories with Roman's closest friends, in response to the question: "What did Roman leave you?" - I heard the following: "Three things. The first is to work hard. Not to stop. The second is to unite and work together for our aim. The third is to do everything in the name of love, in anger, but not in hatred." Thank you Svitlana Povalyaeva - I bow to your strength and wisdom, thank you 100,000 times to everyone who organized and made it possible. PROTASIV YAR - this is a real place of POWER. AND LOVE!
