Russian military widows support each other to [Video]

Lyudmila’s husband, an officer in the Russian army, died in Ukraine in September 2022.

To try to overcome the grief, she set up a support service to help other military widows deal with their loss.

“It was a huge shock.

I didn’t understand what was happening.

I felt like the heroine in a very bad film,” the 32-year-old says in an interview, describing the moment she found out her husband had died.
