New flat.
New flat
We lived in a hostel for three and a half years and it was a real test for me.
I recall some of the scenes as scenes from horror films - for example, standing in a huge line to buy blue chickens with two small children in my arms.
At this time, my husband Radu was taken through the army to Kazakhstan for 6 months to harvest grain and I was left all alone.
My neighbours in a hostel, not at all sympathetic, insisted that now it is our turn to paint the walls in the kitchen. I had to paint with a pungent smell of acetone. In addition, I had to clean all the corridors and bathrooms during my turn on duty. It was incredibly difficult and unbearable.
I had thoughts about taking the children, going to the sea and jumping off the pier with them. I cultivated heroism in myself because our children were with us and that was our responsibility.
Of course, we were looking for opportunities to get an apartment and soon we got one.
I worked in the art factory for 15 years, which gave me the right to be on the waiting list for housing. This did not mean at all that the receipt of the apartment would take place.
Many of my friends never lived to see such a fest like a new flat. I walked around the offices and looked for ways. Once we were lucky and we met a man whose name I remember to this day.
His name was Alexander Dmitrievich Larin and he was an inspector for the provision of housing.
It was he who prompted us that we have a grandmother in our family, my grandmother Sonya, who is the wife of a man who died in the war, and if we write her as the recipient of the apartment, then we should be provided with living space in the same year.
Of course, we were not lucky enough to get an apartment for free, but we were offered a 4-room cooperative apartment in the Kotovsky district, in a newly developing area.
Of course, we were very happy, and then the question arose about paying the first instalment, which was a huge and unaffordable amount for us. But thanks to our friend Olga Zhilenko and my mother, we managed to borrow the entire amount and we finally moved to a new apartment,
The feeling was very strange when we arrive at our new apartment, we were so used to living 9 meters room away from that for the first time we put our bed in the kitchen, where it seemed to us more comfortable.
Housewarming at the request of friends was done immediately, without furniture and tables. We arrange a big table right on the floor. It was real fun!
The most interesting thing is that payments for a cooperative apartment were distributed over 25 years and we would have to pay the debt until the very pension. But in Ukraine there have been changes and having first paid off the debt on the first instalment, we then paid off all debts to the state in a few months and the apartment became ours!
