My mother loved her Masaryk Street. She loved to walk there, work on her research papers, record videos for all Ukrainians, and just live. She lived on the fifth floor because she liked everything to be A-rated. Today marks 40 days since the death of the great daughter of Ukraine, Iryna Farion. There will never be anyone like my mother again, no one will replace her
