[00:01:03] Mariana Aga, works in six
[00:01:06] villages of Kolorazhsky district: Sesen,
[00:01:09] Bravich, Mikhaleshen, Tsibirika and
[00:01:12] Skenuasa. I worked as a
[00:01:16] teacher for 12 years. After that, I decided to become a child
[00:01:20] rights specialist to understand the needs of children and help them in difficult
[00:01:24] life
[00:01:28] situations.
[00:02:08] Good afternoon, good afternoon, are you working, Ms. Anna,
[00:02:12] we are working, let's go on a round, let's go,
[00:02:15] once a week Mariana goes to the villages of Tsibirika and
[00:02:18] Skenuasa, which should have their own specialist, but for
[00:02:22] 2 years no one wants to get a job with a salary of
[00:02:25] 6,000
[00:02:26] lei.
[00:02:31] We searched, but we can't find such people, people refuse to work in this
[00:02:34] field, Ms. Mariana comes every time it is
[00:02:37] necessary,
[00:02:41] she is a helper and support for the social assistant, she helps with advice,
[00:02:45] observation, children from socially vulnerable families
[00:02:49] receive material assistance, each child is allocated
[00:02:52] 400 lei, about 230
[00:02:55] dollars, which go to the needs of the
[00:02:57] family, but most of all... to what the children
[00:03:01] need.
[00:03:10] Is everything good at home? Yes, Mom, what
[00:03:12] is she doing?
[00:03:14] Mom is herding goats. We'll come and see how you store
[00:03:18] the little things and shoes that Ms. Anna bought you, the sports
[00:03:22] suit, Ms. Anna bought it too, right? You're
[00:03:25] good. You're beautiful. According to official data, at the end of last year,
[00:03:28] almost 8.
[00:05:00] became a social worker, at first I didn't really like it, my wife
[00:05:03] said: come with us, come with us, when the
[00:05:07] organization I worked for closed, I had nothing to do, and I
[00:05:11] said, sit at home. Let's work, that's how I started,
[00:05:14] little by little, years passed, they help
[00:05:17] lonely pensioners or those whose children are also already retired,
[00:05:21] so, for example, I want to buy something,
[00:05:24] I say: Tanyusha, get me what
[00:05:27] I need and also this and that.
[00:05:30] They bring us everything, we are grateful. Not
[00:05:34] only I, but all their beneficiaries.
[00:05:37] Because we communicate among ourselves, everything.
[00:05:40] "I'm already used to all the old people,
[00:05:45] grandmothers, to everyone we work with, we wake up in the morning and
[00:05:48] ask each other, where are we going today, I can't sit
[00:05:52] at home, who are we cutting, who are we washing, we help them do everything they
[00:05:56] can't manage,
[00:05:58] they bring us products when needed,
[00:06:02] today we received our quota
[00:06:04] of wheat, they helped us carry it
[00:06:08] home."
[00:06:09] This is little, but it's enough for us, we have no
[00:07:15] choice, we live in a village, there is no other
[00:07:19] work here, we can count on our fingers how many
[00:07:21] people work,
[00:07:24] we are very satisfied with them, it seems to
[00:07:26] us that they are our
[00:07:29] family,
[00:07:32] every time we ask, they help us, sometimes we don't even
[00:07:36] ask, they come themselves and ask what we
[00:07:39] need, how old are you?
[00:07:43] My God, I don't even know how to count them, 82,
[00:07:47] 83 or 84,
[00:07:49] 84, I don't
[00:07:52] count anymore,
[00:07:54] although she herself retired, Tatiana continues to work
[00:07:58] caring for pensioners from her
[00:08:01] village, I cannot leave them, how can I
[00:08:04] abandon them, you saw, they can't do without me, they are used
[00:08:08] to me, and I to them, we have been together for many years, they
[00:08:11] say, our mother... is coming, although they are 80-90
[00:08:14] years old,
[00:08:17] in Moldova more than 20% of social workers
[00:08:20] are pensioners, in Felesti their number exceeds 50%. A tricycle
[00:10:55] was bought for me
[00:11:03] this summer, before that I rode a bicycle, you see what kind of
[00:11:06] relief our village has, flat, very easy to move around, when I went
[00:11:10] to the cellars it was difficult for me, I had to take a bus, it was not that
[00:11:14] expensive, but the road from one beneficiary to another
[00:11:18] is very long and I had to carry bags in my hands, every
[00:11:22] 2 days I put it on charge, when I...
[00:13:16] In his family, the older sister hears well, the second and third
[00:13:20] child too, the third also, but he,
[00:13:23] the fourth, does not hear. he says, the fifth child
[00:13:26] hears, and he wonders why it turned out this way,
[00:13:30] Mihai Monteanu was born with hearing and
[00:13:33] speech impairments, he studied to be a carpenter, but could not find
[00:13:37] a job in his specialty and got a job as a janitor in
[00:13:40] Chisinau.
[00:13:43] In 2011, when he
[00:13:46] turned 18, he didn't know where
[00:13:49] to get a job, and this was the only job
[00:13:53] he was offered.
[00:14:55] He looked for work at the market,
[00:14:58] got a job as a loader, carried onions, carrots,
[00:15:01] potatoes, called to find out where there was still
[00:15:05] a vacant place to
[00:15:07] earn extra money,
[00:15:11] what else did he do, he looked for scrap metal, collected it and handed it in,
[00:15:16] the financial situation in the family improved a little, everything became
[00:15:19] normal, they lived in a rented apartment, money
[00:15:23] was enough from paycheck to paycheck.
[00:15:25] The man studied a lot and passed his driving test on the first
[00:15:28] try. He got a job in a delivery service
[00:15:31] and now in the mornings he works as a janitor, and in the evenings and until
[00:15:35] midnight - as a courier.
[00:15:39] He says that it's not easy for him, he has to deliver
[00:15:42] an order according to the application, not make a mistake with the address, correctly
[00:15:45] read the street names, meet people who made
[00:15:49] orders, the first month was very
[00:15:51] difficult, how do people treat
[00:15:54] him, he says, if I smile
[00:15:58] at the client, he smiles in return, that is,
[00:16:01] there are kind people,
[00:16:05] now Mihai dreams of becoming a taxi driver.
[00:16:19] They need a person who hears and
[00:16:21] speaks,
[00:16:29] some have already sprouted, and some have not yet, but they will sprout,
[00:16:32] after yesterday's rain everything should grow well,
[00:16:34] Vladislav. Soldan from the village of Kipeska, Saldanesht district, has not
[00:16:38] seen since childhood, despite this, he cultivates grain
[00:16:42] crops on almost 60 hectares
[00:16:45] of land, it's hard, but we manage, everything by
[00:16:49] touch, how does a blind person do
[00:16:53] this, before we bought feed for
[00:16:56] pets, but it was
[00:16:58] expensive,
[00:17:00] once I thought, wouldn't it be better to grow feed for
[00:17:04] animals ourselves, that's how it started.
[00:17:38] His parents died and I adopted him, he is my eyes,
[00:17:41] hands and feet, without him I cannot even get to the
[00:17:44] store, with him I can go to the
[00:17:47] store, anywhere, my parents
[00:17:50] died, I grew up and studied in a boarding school, when
[00:17:54] the boarding school closed, he took me in, thanks to him I got a decent
[00:17:58] future, sometimes I wonder, if fate
[00:18:01] had turned out differently, who knows where I would be and what
[00:18:04] I would have become? there is no work in the village and
[00:18:08] to make a living, the man raises livestock and
[00:18:12] cultivates the land.
[00:18:14] Veronchik,
[00:18:16] Veronchik,
[00:18:19] just don't knock it over,
[00:18:23] please, while he milks the cow, I'll put
[00:18:27] the horse out to pasture, then I'll come back and lead
[00:18:31] the cow to the field, he can't see and can't take her, but he can
[00:18:34] milk, we work day and night. and does a
[00:18:38] farmer have days off, if
[00:18:40] hay is left in the field, on Saturday you didn't clear it, on Sunday
[00:18:44] it rained, everything was lost, if you don't work at
[00:18:47] night, nothing will work, today, if you managed to
[00:18:50] sow before the rain, there will be a good harvest, if not, it will be
[00:18:54] worse, everything needs to be done on time, otherwise it
[00:18:57] won't work, the farmer dreams of seeing his
[00:19:01] fields, even for a moment,
[00:19:03] I would really like to see my plot, my village...
[00:19:38] everything needs to be sold to pay for the combines that harvested
[00:19:41] the crop, for herbicides, for seeds, everything
[00:19:45] goes, we still need to pay for fuel, again
[00:19:48] all we have left is to work, but as
[00:19:52] they say, work is health, if I didn't
[00:19:55] work, I would probably already be dead, that's where the
[00:19:58] strength lies, to know what you wake up for every
[00:20:13] Adela Postolake has been working as a family
[00:20:17] doctor in the village of Terebno, Edenetsky district, for 15 years.
[00:20:30] In 2007, I got injured, I fell
[00:20:34] from a tree. This event did not change my
[00:20:38] life. When it was time to go back to
[00:20:42] work, the doctor who worked here
[00:20:45] offered to switch places.
[00:20:48] I returned to my native village
[00:20:58] because I work here with my mother and I know that at any
[00:21:01] moment I can count on her help and
[00:21:03] support, when I call her, she
[00:21:07] comes, if it gets too difficult, she
[00:21:10] comes to my house, if I feel a
[00:21:13] little better, I go to her
[00:21:15] office, blood pressure 140 over
[00:21:18] 90.
[00:22:50] was in a much worse condition than the
[00:22:52] current one, one patient was in the
[00:22:56] office, the second was knocking on the door,
[00:23:00] the third was looking through the window to see what I was doing, how
[00:23:03] I was coping, in addition to her salary, Adela receives
[00:23:07] a disability pension of about 130
[00:23:10] dollars, this money goes to my personal
[00:23:14] needs, I immediately transfer my salary from my
[00:23:17] card to my daughter's account,
[00:23:31] Yes, I was lucky with my parents who help, without their support it would be much harder for me to cope with life's difficulties.
[00:23:35] Adela's mother works as a
[00:23:39] nurse.
[00:23:41] At first I worked with a doctor in Dar. Then
[00:23:45] she left for Zabricheni. And
[00:23:48] my daughter came in her place.
[00:23:58] At every step, you need to be very careful not to
[00:24:01] make a mistake, the doctor was not ashamed of
[00:24:04] me. Adela lives next to the family doctor center and
[00:24:08] mainly sees patients in the office.
[00:24:11] Patients know where I live, and even on
[00:24:14] weekends, on Saturday or Sunday, they can
[00:24:17] call and say: "I'll come to the office." I come
[00:24:21] little by little and provide the necessary help,
[00:24:24] there are all the necessary medicines here, I can provide first
[00:24:28] aid, in severe cases I go to the patient's home. The doctor has about
[00:24:31] 900 patients registered.
[00:25:07] Political persecution in my country has long become
[00:25:11] commonplace, two operational officers were present
[00:25:14] in the office, who were actually beating him.
[00:25:18] they dictated the text of the testimony he gave as
[00:25:21] a witness. Despite her minority, the girl was
[00:25:24] only 17 years old, she and five other arrested people were sent to
[00:25:28] a pre-trial detention center until the verdict was announced.
[00:25:31] And how to work in exile? I don't
[00:25:37] know, I still don't really know.
[00:25:41] I had two main fears in life:
[00:25:45] prison and immigration.
[00:25:47] I broke off communication
[00:25:52] with many important sources because they support the
[00:25:56] war, well, in general, yes, I really miss Russia, but I live with
[00:25:59] the full awareness that... the Russia I
[00:26:03] left no longer exists.
[00:26:06] Here, by the way, oil is
[00:26:13] 100 again. World oil prices sharply jumped up due to a new
[00:26:16] escalation. Oil at 106 continues to
[00:26:19] rise. Yes, yes, our budget is being filled, good
[00:26:23] evening, yes. Kremlin propagandists rejoice at
[00:26:26] the rise in world oil prices. The interests of the state
[00:26:29] seem to be higher for them. columns where you can refuel and
[00:27:32] give advice on how to save fuel. Local authorities
[00:27:36] periodically introduce a system of odd-even numbers depending on
[00:27:39] the car number of private car owners. Priority
[00:27:42] remains for emergency services transport and the fleet
[00:27:46] of officials. The reasons for the crisis are not publicly
[00:27:49] discussed in the media, using vague wording and
[00:27:52] newspeak. Work to control and stabilize prices at private
[00:27:55] gas stations. Official sources link the gasoline shortage to
[00:27:59] disrupted logistics. Everyone knows the political
[00:28:03] reasons, meanwhile on federal channels they happily
[00:28:05] discuss strikes on Ukrainian gas stations, rising gasoline
[00:28:09] prices in the USA, escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which disrupted
[00:28:13] the usual global oil supplies. Oil prices continue to rise.
[00:28:17] US President Donald Trump said that high fuel prices around
[00:28:20] the world are not to blame for the Middle East conflict, but
[00:28:23] Zelensky. If this continues, then Russia will have no
[00:28:27] budget problems at all, even with financing serious military
[00:28:30] operations. Russia's budget, from which
[00:28:33] the Kremlin continues to finance the war in Ukraine,
[00:28:36] is actually cracking at the seams. Military spending continues
[00:28:40] to grow, as does the budget deficit. According to official data
[00:28:43] from the Ministry of Finance, for January-August of this year, it reached
[00:28:47] 5.8 trillion rubles or 2.5% of
[00:28:50] GDP, which is one and a half times more than the analogous period
[00:28:53] of last 2025. According to economists' estimates,
[00:28:57] this year's deficit could amount to 9 trillion.
[00:29:00] you just need to give the earth
[00:29:32] a chance to rest, the earth needs to recover,
[00:29:36] of course there were feelings, as if we
[00:29:43] were hiding Jews here, that's how it
[00:29:46] was,
[00:29:47] you've been living in a war for five years,
[00:29:51] how do you show a destroyed
[00:29:54] city,
[00:29:56] the city is empty.
[00:30:00] everything that used to be familiar,
[00:30:02] noisy for you, also becomes empty.
[00:30:06] Raids, cops will twist
[00:30:17] people, put pressure on them, force them to sign contracts. So you come with
[00:30:21] your grandmother? No, please don't come with your grandmother anywhere, let your grandmother go alone
[00:30:25] by herself. This is due to the fact that people are simply not informed, they tell you, do you want to die in prison
[00:30:28] or in war? Prigozhin, by the way,
[00:30:31] Ivan Chuvlyaev, press secretary
[00:30:39] of the anti-war organization "Go Forest" gave an interview to the
[00:30:42] Trendy program in Spain in Barcelona. In it, he spoke about how
[00:30:46] Vladimir Putin and his pocket Duma changed the model
[00:30:50] of mobilization, which country will not extradite
[00:30:53] Russian deserters, why is the grandmother from
[00:30:57] Penza stronger?
