Spartak, February 2020 (DPR, territory controlled by the separatists)
The village is located directly at the airport and thus on the front line, grenades are striking daily. In the past, 5000 people lived in this once a flourishing settlement, now there are still 37 households. Svetlana Ivanovna and Elena Vladimirovna warm themselves up in a tent that now serves as a community centre. They now work as community workers, are concerned about cleanliness and clear snow as far as the situation allows. Both hope for a future in the Russian Federation. "This has always been Russian territory ». There will not be a border with Ukraine here, because "one day the whole Donbass will become Russian Federation".
