Irina Ruban
Came to Gdansk with daughters, Vera and Masha. Her husband, relatives and cat Keksik stayed at home.
"Here is this thing - be afraid of your desires. I wanted to change jobs, my team, and the field of activity. I wanted to change the school for children, my lifestyle. My husband and I also quarreled and at some point thought of getting divorced, but then everything was fine. But all these wishes came true: I am here without my husband, the children have changed schools, I am going to another job in another country and other things."
