Ukrainian Woman
Ukrainian Woman
After service at the Berdyansk Christian Church where I had been asked to speak before the congregation, this Grandma came to me speaking in Russian about something for which I never found the meaning. I asked for her photo and I believe I got her consent, for when I raised the camera she decided that was OK. I never got her to look me in the eyes or the camera lens. I had been told that the older generation has that complex. It was explained to me with a Ukrainian saying common during the Russian regime, was: "The tallest blade of grass is the first to get cut".
