Hero Wives

Women stand by their husbands fighting for Donbass liberation

Ordinary Russian women from all corners of the country, volunteer to meet the needs of their husbands who are fighting for the liberation of Donbass. "They can buy things themselves, but what are we supposed to do then? Where's our patriotism?" says one of the women. These women knit, cook, sew, write letters, offer support and prayers. Each one puts her heart into her actions and contributions, for the sake of the frontline defenders. Olya and Masha went a step further; they decided to use a van to personally deliver the aid they had collected for the fighters. The journey was extremely perilous, but the women were willing to embrace this risk to support the fighters and provide them with a sense of home. Watch our premiere to hear first-hand accounts from the frontlines.
