Old couple evacuating from occupied Kherson region in Ukraine.
Hanna is blind, Volodymyr almost can't walk. Volunteer says that woman was the first to cross the border, they put her on an evacuation cart, but she refused to go further until she felt her husband's hand in her hand. So they waited by the border for Volodymyr. They continued the evacuation only when Volodymyr arrived and Hanna made sure by touch that it's the hand of her husband.

“Your sympathy is a great comfort to me and my daughter, who has endured such a severe trial at such an early age... She tells me that she would not for anything in the world wish to change the past, no matter how short, but happy it was; and I will never forget his look when the Tsar led her by the hand to his bed! It was pure happiness, and he recognized her all day when he was dying. He said goodbye to her, kissed her, and held her hand tightly in his until he died! We were on the road for four days and four nights, and she never left his bedside, kneeling next to him day and night, until at one o'clock in the afternoon she kissed him and he exhaled his young life! It was terrible for me, because I loved him very much and saw how all the happiness of the poor young bride had faded away... Minnie went to Darmstadt for the day to see his parents again. The whole dear family was so kind and sweet to her that the separation was doubly painful for her."
- Queen Louise of Denmark in a letter to Queen Victoria, on her daughter Princess Dagmar’s grief at the death of her fiancé, Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia. Dagmar went on to become Empress Maria Alexandrovna as the wife of Nicholas’s brother, Emperor Alexander III. Their firstborn son was named after the uncle he never knew, he is known to history as Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor.

Do you ever stop and do the math to realize that Victor was born before the fall of the soviet union?? Cause I just did and it's wild...
Like, he turned 28 in 2016, which means he was born on December 25th 1988.
The soviet union fell on December 26th 1991. The day after his third birthday....
This is wild to me, and idk why 😭😭

Захотел купить машину. Оказалось купить машину это не тоже самое что сходить купить макбук в Ресторе!
Почему с машинами так сложно, странно, тупо, опасно, неприятно?
И самое бесящее — что за х@&₽₽я с цветом!? Почему кайфовые цвета продаются как особая, дополнительная, эксклюзивная блажь? Но вообще ты скорей всего просто не купишь нужный цвет, будь добр либо ждать годы, либо идти на@&₽)(й, просто потому-что!
А я не хочу потом ничего сам перекрашивать, я вообще не хочу сам ничего там в машине делать, хочу купить все страховки подписки на техническое обслуживание, арендовать подземную парковку и ездить в отпуска в своё удовольствие вокруг города в экспедиции, через пять лет сдать уже старую машину и с большой скидкой получить новую — всё!
Почему я не могу купить красную или жёлтую, или светло-серо-голубую машинку и кайфовать!?

A small spoiler of what else I need to draw-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But due to the fact that I have so many ideas that sometimes I just cut into drawing new things, forgetting about the old ones, and because of this I am stupid and forgetful, I hope you will forgive me for this. And I marked with numbers what I will try to finish in turn-
Well, because I'm slow as a snail-
