       OTD in 2022 there was a sunny peaceful day in Mariupol. I translated the story of the reporter Serhii Vaganov:February 19, 2022 was the last peaceful Saturday before the war.  It was incredibly warm day in Mariupol. +10C degrees. Quiet. Sunny day. 1/7

       2/7 It seemed that spring is very real, and the war is just a wild fiction that exists only in the imagination of American intelligence.“A year ago, under these photos, I wrote: “Mariupol is waiting for spring. 02/19/2022,” wrote the author of the photo report Serhii Vaganov.

       3/7 “But the city had never got its spring. Now I am sure that Mariupol was saying goodbye to life, the people of Mariupol were saying goodbye to each other and the city.

       4/7 The new piers and beaches were not usually crowded with townspeople in winter. There are never as many people at sea in winter as it was on February 19, 2022.

       5/7 People pushed away thoughts of war. They wanted to believe the President, who promised barbecues for the May holidays.  They wanted spring, joy.

       6/7 It seemed that the whole town had gathered that Saturday morning at the sea.These photos show happy people who did not need “liberation”.  They needed only one thing - LIFE.We last saw Mariupol like this - sunny, warm and full of life.
