Dearest Anna, The message of your death came as quite a shock to me. We had sent messages to each other on WhatsApp. Especially during the weeks & months after Russia invaded Ukraine, that was a channel for you to share thoughts and vent your frustration, anger and fear. I was so relieved that …

Anna was a kind and gentle soul. Her soft skills and qualities, her big Russian heart made her such an exquisite person.
