## Transcript

[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia) My name is Vera Aleksandrovna. I live at 43 Kalinina Street.

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=4) On the evening of October 26, I went out to walk the dogs.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=9) I have two little dogs. I live in the fourth entrance— by the third entrance, a man attacked me, saying: “Why are you following me?”

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=18) He was drunk. It was dark. He had some kind of bag there, there was something in it, I think a bottle in a bag.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=25) And then, you know, he just started in with words like these, without giving me a chance to react, he said: “I’m going to kill you now, I’ll kill you right now, you wretched creature,” and all the rest, “and then I’ll go to the Special Military Operation.”

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=39) And when he hit me with the bag containing the bottle, I started bleeding from an artery.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=48) And I—my jacket was just covered in blood, my face, my hands, I couldn’t— What saved me was that he didn’t crack my skull.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=55) The fact that I had something on my head A warm wool hat.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=61) He swore every way he could, putting me through everything he could, laughing.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=64) I say, “Listen, I have a son, I say, he was just buried.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=67) Did my son really die for this, so you can mock me here now, his mother, and kill me?”

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=74) He says, “I’ll kill you right now, and nothing will happen to me.”

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=78) How can that be? “I’ll go fight in the war.”

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=81) Our guys are fighting in the special military operation, including my son, who died in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=87) He was buried with military honors at the military cemetery in the city of Asbest with full military honors.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=92) I live with my daughter. I don’t have a husband either.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=94) We just, you know, went through all of this, through our family.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=100) It’s such pain to bury your son. And he stands there, right to my face, saying to me, the mother of a son killed in the special military operation: “I’ll kill you right now, and nothing will happen to me.”

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=111) So what is this? How can this happen here in Russia?

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=115) I wouldn't be talking to you right now. Yes, you see, I even have a bruise on my cheek, a bruise, and my whole head is stitched up.

[2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=121) So he could have cracked my skull, gone off to fight in the special military operation, and nothing would have happened to him.

[2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=125) So you can just go around killing people, is that how it works?

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=129) This possibility makes no sense to me at all.

[2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=131) People like these need to be stopped and punished.

[2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=137) This can't be allowed to continue. We live in Russia. Russia has always been known for its traditions, its kindness and humanity.

[2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=143) This is just a monstrous way to treat people.

[2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=148) But what happened to me, I still—I'm still in shock over it.

[2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=154) “I'll go fight in the special military operation, and nothing will happen to me.

[2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=156) I'll kill you, I'll kill you right now.”

[2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=158) He threatened to kill me, laughing, swearing and cursing.

[2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zd9Oyj3ZNrpk/en/mother-of-fallen-soldier-describes-attack-and-threats-in-russia?t=161) And I think this is unacceptable.
