often exhausted and traumatized after days on the road and brings them to safety in berlin, shap, augmentin, can them give call? i've also spoken to many children. oh, who? vast, innocent questions such as, why aren't we at home diffract combo or does this mean? we'll never go back to high success v it's nick, met through comb. then another child said on the oh, i know that our house is being bombed right now. owns a house, it's got to run by the children are having to experience these things it's, it's really terrible a leaving on this is not a freakish of wasteful. valentin sylvester is perhaps ukraine's most famous composer of contemporary music. he managed to get to berlin from kiev. also. thanks to vitale. alexey knock ah, i'll see it. us be sir crenza. she wanted to reach the border. i picked him up there, his family, a few other people and a cat ins under philomena on knocking brahmins. that was the 1st time i met him

shopping just before he got in the van and glance him auto. whether or not fordham auto says, i never would have imagined that a conductor would get to know a composer fleeing war in a many less in a man that they then have to drive a 1000 kilometers together. so you might some fun miss lou, give us a shot. he was extremely exhausted, but he helped well the here. how can they say he's 84 years old after all, and he still composing at this? ok then the if he even did it during the journey, he heard the music in his head short owns by the company. and once we brought him to berlin, he played it for us right away. um, thus got there and it was really very moving pads on the subject. they say i ruined many other musicians. a still in ukraine from bon alexi not is in constant contact with his colleagues in hockey. ah, there the concert in

a subway station provides a brief moment of hope for the children to the events like this are ray of hope. they help us to believe in the best to hope it'll all be overseen and things will be all right. but us good that life goes on because music and art are part of life there. the rays of light that help the soul survive the suit with organizes plan to stage more concerts until the war comes to an end. ah, in russia to many are risking everything by calling for an end to the war. a growing number of artists and intellectuals are leaving the country in protest among them russian prima ballerina august mir nova. she's just performed in

a benefit gala in naples, along with ukrainian dancers and malay stars like anastasio garcia, one of russia's greatest literary voices is now living in exile too. will lose leila lit sky. our stay in berlin forever. will she never be able to return to moscow? can she start a new life at the age of 79? possibly russia's most important living writer. she left her country in mid march. her oldest son who lives in london, convinced her to let me necessarily feel threatened in others, which though and couldn't entirely understand my son's decision that i agree to it . because i think you might be able to assess for the current situation a bit better than i do garcia. and i still remember when i sent my sons to the us, when they were old enough to be drafted into the army hummers. everett,

i knew i had to act fast for that was during the war in afghanistan. a bunch of hers were constantly having was like that. when his son, he showed his last him yesterday and i get the mileage for 40 years. coolant sky has been married to sculptor and painter, andre crossman, who also came with her to berlin. she was one of the 1st in russia to speak out publicly against the war in ukraine. it is necessary to stop the war that is flaring off every minute and resist the propaganda lies fed to us by all media. who lipsky has never been sparing in her criticism of russia's leaders and says, she's in good company through my, among my acquaintances, i'm not even talking of close friends, but my wide circle. i've never met a single person who would have agreed to this russian war in ukraine, not one. she's got no grey and any of these days though,

those who dare take to the streets to protest risk being beaten up or arrested. few are as courageous as the writer vladimir sir oakum, whose fiercely criticized the war bore, elaina co vasqua, who resigned his artistic director of moscow's meyer, whole theatre after the invasion. around the same time, many artists and intellectual signed an open letter of protest. but the letter and names of the signatories were quickly removed from the internet. the risks were just too high. the muslim nino, the chena, i don't have the feeling that russian intellectual support the law. but it's a very difficult to hear their voices o media outlets have been shocked down. but for example, radio echo of moscow i do and many other channels and platforms have been shut down . there's a voice of protest, but it's very difficult to hear it. ah,

born into a jewish family, the little guy, i worked as a geneticist before starting to write her books have been translated into some 30 languages. in short stories and novels, she is depicted the great terror under stalin and the holocaust as well as everyday life in post soviet russia. her protagonists are mainly women. in this recent collection of stories, she writes about their daily struggles and the power of female friendships grew. i see what russia is, the country of very strong women everywhere, but in power. of course, when if this war is stopped dead the more than it will only be because of women at the boot, the phenomenon, if it isn't the word, it will mean that those in power don't care. one iota about what women think about all this blue at saddam adventure. but in bold, bullets sky knows that the impact of this war will be terrible and poison relations

between russia and ukraine for generations to come. but she warns against ostracizing russian artists who have not distance themselves from vladimir putin such as world renown, conductor of the larry getty, of, and acclaimed opera star on in the trap, co, criticized in the west for saying nothing at 1st. she then became persona non grata in russia when she spoke out against the war. yes, she does, the gluten. i believe that every artist, like every person really has a right to their opinion, their political one to a some dinner. an artist should be judged by that work. if it's worth presenting or leave and the artist should be worked with, though otherwise, then there is no need to know this number, but a person's political views are their own business is one of the chill area. they were live snellville, she says many russians only discuss politics and private behind closed doors. but

that doesn't mean the majority is pro war. oh, through turn, the war was the words very important that people here in germany understand that opinion in russia is not as unanimous as the government would like to present at my failure. gloria i am what i see is of so when it comes to the war a little now got a large part of the population including bullshit. ordinary people and educated sectors were for this and find it abhorrent in him. ah, you got the and it would be willing to go out on to the streets to stop it with us from out here in berlin. willet sky is constantly asked how she views the situation in russia now so similar, so it's much lower which but i don't like this role at all. that elim truth, i would prefer to be a writer for an observer of life. and if so,

a right to function is to observe and to right. and you see, i've never seen myself as an active participant in a process, a skillful, certainly not a political. one of them were, but life is now pulling me into politics north of against my will. don't believe me . jagger with political. it says um, but it's movable and you're biased. ludmilla lit sky is certain that she'll be able to write during her self imposed exile. but she hoped to return to her home in moscow one day when the war is over. but what if your homeland lies in ruins like parts of ukraine, can sanctuaries be recreated for those who need it? most children, traumatized by conflict, even before this latest war. a documentary about a children's home in eastern ukraine, but had to be evacuated in late february. ah,

december test regions of eastern ukraine, which have been contested for years now, are only a few kilometers from the lizzie chanst children's home. i saw my b, b. a child. hoods of the youngsters who lived here were fractured . the children's home was their home when they had lost both parents or was their sanctuary from parents who had abused them. 11 year old koya was given shelter here with his younger siblings. their mother is an alcoholic. ah, you know mine. when will i let them go to live on? in the documentary, a housemaid of splinters is a portrait of the home and the love and care it provided. people say children are

the future. but what kind of future can there be in a region where peace, all too often gives way to warm mm. in the wall that has been going on for almost more than 7 years. now in this region, it's made the social problem skits out of control with unemployment. and if you don't have the resources to leave, you're stuck there and then you start to seek a little bit of comfort in a drink. and that's what interest me not the tragedy, but actually you know, where is the hope in, you know, in, in the hot circumstances. ringback in late january the films danish director simons rang wilmont won the world cinema documentary directing award at the sundance film festival. but what is film cannot tell us? is that 4 weeks after its world premiere, the home no longer existed for its children. 2 it was evacuated on february 24th.

the day vladimir putin sent his troops into ukraine. it was disbelief and shock. i couldn't understand, and that he actually decided to in bate or all of ukraine. i was just there, like a week before the invasion happened. the local authorities whole made this, they actually made the decision from the 1st day to dig them out. they were traveling from the east of ukraine in their train in the compartments like which are, which originally should be for people in this one compartment. but they were like, 12 of them in one compartment you can imagine how was their reaction. and they said that in the half of the way they were told to sit down on the floor and to turn off all the lights, you know, because they were, ah, they have a fear. i mean them, adults had the fear that their chain could be, ah, shot by a russian army bmw. some of the children were 1st housed in the div in western

ukraine. in mid march. we met at suffer off there. he's the co founder of the ukranian organization, voices of children. he took us to the temporary lodgings of the children who had been evacuated from the former home. here he's working to get them the counseling many of them need. ah, when the tip, listening to the says when kids have to run to the basement, that you can't, you can't do it from his brain. you can do it from the his memory, subway kid with the teacher daily traumas of the 2014 war are resurfacing in the children of 20. 22 with some children are suffering from depression, others from self harm, but that there's bad depression all about what i said at that by they cut themselves id as they stopped them. so she fired or they break their fingernails as it was bit irregular ridge in words that. ringback they are a house of splinters,

say the homestead of a house of broken dreams. shattered hopes shattered faith in the world. fragments that they with the children are now trying to piece back together. 2 ah son, none, and then you choose the most important thing is for them to feel safe to night. to meet fatty are slowly starting to make plans. you mentioned that they are beginning to feel safer, doubled and more stable as they been easier of us. so when the trembling in their hands as easy as i told you, i meanwhile, all of the children had been brought out of ukraine. 2 in ukraine, deaths are mounting among civilians to lithuanian documentary filmmaker montage vera. its lush was killed at the start of april. his films focused on victims of
