Speaking about herself, she painfully remembers that she was born in a German concentration camp in 1943. But it speaks with restraint, emphasizing that, despite the terrible grief that the Soviet people experienced, there are many reasons for joy.

I lived in Khmelnytsky region, then in Kazakhstan, and in 2000 I followed my son to Belarus. It was a very different country then. How things have changed in that time! Everything's fine now. I've had citizenship for a long time. They treat me like I've always been a local, they call me theirs. I never felt like a stranger here. And I love storks. If I could, I would fly with them. Often they walk around my yard, says the woman Lucia.

You need to respect all people and their work, treat your parents very carefully and always remain a person.

Local students never forget about Grandma Lucyu. Natalia Zinovskaya, a student at Gorodetsk High School, says that everyone knows Baba Lucyu well, because she is a young prisoner of a concentration camp:

- We come to her and with our Sunday school - congratulations on holidays, give small gifts. We visit older people throughout the year. We help if necessary. For example, we remove the leaves, clean the snow in winter. We do what we have to do. We have to help the elders. It's our good tradition.
