they provided here, but let's just say that what helped us more was the fact that volunteers were called, who live in uh, work in the irish ugh, who again live in our house, we need many ukrainians in english, and they all gathered and came to us as far as clubs , they each said i can be there on monday, tuesday there at such and such an hour to come to your place for the spitting club and we were going with them and let's say who could, who spoke, someone can translate something , someone can help someone, and one of us even called an english teacher, that's it she is irish, but she conducts classes even for beginners, and let’s say it’s the best, for sure . an english teacher whom i have never seen at all, because she doesn’t speak a single word of ukrainian, but everyone understands her. she speaks english fluently,

explains in english and everyone understands everything in their place, the person explains coolly, of course it's very cool that you have such an opportunity and it's free to study, but how can you get a job without a good level of english ? your profession is a skin sports teacher and you are currently working in this profession. how did you manage to find a job there? was it because of connections or maybe you were somehow advertised? we searched on some sites and how much the language barrier was an obstacle. i went to ireland precisely because i know that there are many horses here, there is a lot of work, especially in the equestrian field. and since i understood that i do not have english, i thought that this profession would suit me better. well, if

we work together, then english is not always super necessary. if train then that's it it’s already more complicated, and i haven’t been able to go into design because of this yet, but when i arrived, and after two weeks, i already started sending it out. well, let’s say it doesn’t work, but inquiries are made at the stables near, uh, in the city where i am, uh, through facebook via whatsapp and somewhere else. i just asked for someone looking for employees. i want to be a berezer, a rider , someone who goes around them, or a trainer, or something related to air conditioning, and out of all the clovers , only one answered me. i.e. they were looking for staff then, they were looking for a coach, but they said they could take them i am still there to see what i will be doing for the first time. i asked them if it is possible for me to be

with you for about a month as a volunteer. and so that you can see how i work and i saw how i will be there because i immediately wrote that in english i have they said yes, they really come, they got to know me, they helped a lot when i even tried to explain what this word was, and then they sold it, everything went by itself. that is, i volunteered for them for about a month, and then they already hired me and started paying me a little. it is true that ukrainians have less pay in many european countries, ours complain that they still underestimate labor and consider ukrainians such a cheap labor force because of the situation of being forced to stay in the european union there or in other countries, but in ireland this is also the case, do they still comply with the legislation that the minimum wage is how much do you have to pay, but there really is such a problem,

now many people from our hotel work exactly as cleaners in the kitchen in hotels, we have a town near us, it is touristic, that is, there are a little this kind of work is paid as it should be, that is, everything should be transparent with them. i understand that they also pay some minimum wage. but it is also better than , let's say, some underpaid salaries, but it just happens that irish people pay not even the minimum wage. in my case, i understand what they pay me. less than what is needed and this is actually well, i think that such a problem is widespread here, because they really do. i think that they use it. i have doctors who work with me at work, and i do not know how much they are paid, but i knew that they could pay me more problem there really is, and i think that they take advantage of the fact that

people do not know english, do not know their rights, and many are really forced to simply look for something. and you work, and is such a salary enough for living to be covered by the state? you live in a hotel for free, but wow, is it possible to feed you there for free or not? yes, there is free food, there is accommodation in a hotel, it really helps a lot because we have almost everything when we arrived here. well, first of all, we were surprised because we live in a village, it is six or seven kilometers from the town the nearest nearest place is a town with 10,000 people, that is, it is quite small, but there are shops there in the supermarket, and you can save money, but the problem is that if you get there, you either take a bus or a bicycle. buses go two or three times a day, maybe a little more in one direction the last bus goes to our village at around 7:00

p.m. uhu, that is, you have to either plan or ride a bicycle. bicycles were immediately brought to us by volunteers, all of whom are local, they asked what we needed, they helped you a lot, and there were some we were also transported there with essentials, everyone wrote what he thought he needed the most, and they also brought us about 20 bicycles, we have about 150 people living here, we shared bicycles. it was bought by individuals, that is, in relation to the population, i would just like to note who was not interested in ireland in general, only 5 million people, so it is not a small country, maybe 10,000 people is not so small for such a total number

population and yevgenia was by the way, you noted that you live in a hotel scandal with one of the hotels uh, i don't know how to correct maybe i have to correct in the town of kilerny i didn't find an accent i didn't find unfortunately, in public access and there was a scandal literally in october with the fact that e refugees from ukraine. these were women with children. there would have been many small children there. they decided to relocate to another region altogether, despite the fact that the children were already going to school, to kindergartens and had already settled. did you hear about this scandal, how it ended in general, because further in public space, that's all already hit, yes , we really had such a problem, it's right there in the town near which i live ah, that is, at that time, let's say there was a hotel in which ukrainians lived, there were about 200 of them, and six months later, i understand,

about six months of their settlement already the children go to school, the parents got a job, and they receive a letter saying that in 48 hours they have to leave. and this is somewhere when. apparently, half of the ukrainians had to leave there because they brought more refugees from other countries, and those were the men of smilina and let's say they are they were a little rude, there were complaints from those women to the owners of the hotel that the men were drinking , uh, smoking and behaving badly, that is, it was scary to be with the children, the letter was great, the ukrainians learned about it, but everyone around us, because we have our own here, a few people from munich. we have time. of course, we all try to communicate with each other and

we learn about this situation, it was a publicized situation, almost all the irish people around knew about it, i even talked to my boss about it, and they were all against men moving in there first of all, instead of women, this is very strange, and all the residents of this town were a little surprised by such a situation, that is, they came out for a protest that day. i was working that day, but many people from our hotel went to that protest and stood under that hotel, and the irish came out, hmm caspi - there are a lot of organizations here, and there were pies , but at that moment, they didn’t cancel it all, that is, they didn’t put them back in the hotel, they spread out their sleeping rooms for those people, and it turned out

that in some conditions you became much worse that is in the hotel next to some people, they just upgraded a room to someone, but the rooms were two, and my bed was for two people, that is, two different people who do not know each other, do not sleep well . the conditions were a little better. that is, they were moved. i understand that it is somewhere in a church or something of that color, that is, in principle, the issue is not 100% resolved. no, it is not 100% resolved. we understand there are refugees and from other countries, but to settle men instead of women with children is very strange, especially those who

behave so obscenely . are there really many of them in ireland, because i read that there is no indigenous population as such, all irish people live outside the borders of this country and are scattered around the world. so who are the most of these nationalities? irish people are found in many of us at least because we live in a village. of course, villages are a little bit like ours and everyone knows each other. it's a lot of people who do what to whom. some irish people have 5-6-7 years of sisters and nieces, nephews, nephews, somewhere around 30 , that is, they many people talk about it, uh, they are very open in most cases, and they have

such a book, but when i really like it on the road, when we have it here. let's say that there have been some road accidents in fact. oh, it's at each other . often people swear at each other. there is almost no such thing here irish people to irish people. in general, they are very, very reserved, and so that they switch to shouting or something else. i almost did not notice this. i go to work by bicycle more often than not, and it happens that the car road is narrow. it's simple, but it's narrow. if i cover the car about her, they will calmly drive slowly behind me until they can overtake me, that is, no one shouts at anyone, they can safely

. hello, while there, is there anything else, if they pass even near towns, we go on foot or something else, people greet you with each other, that is, yevgeny at, it’s interesting, you know, there are cases of recorded friendliness , just as a tick, let’s say, but there are really people are they open or not, but i still don't understand at all. i consider it open, uh, although it's not clear to me, and i remember that you were one of the concerts, we organized those concerts, and i even joked , telling the irish that i don't understand your nonsense , like how are you, huh? and because they are so welcome in them instead of challah sometimes it happens how are you i say i still didn't know how to answer this or just read it

well they laughed and most of them said that it's just like an excuse not like that in the united states of america too it's like hello well that is me i'm not i know for sure, but for example, somewhere if you walk by a store and a person walks by and touches you, they are immediately rude. always in front of each other respect other people's borders very much can be summed up in this way, namely, they treat ukrainians more as a burden that fell on their country, or is there sympathy, a certain expression of support due to the situation due to russia's war against ukraine, more precisely, in the spring, when we arrived, there were a lot of people irish people who could just come up to

hug and, well, let's say cry or something else, they sympathized with us very much, they helped us a lot, because even humanitarian aid. even now, some come and transport things, although we say that it is not necessary and we move them somewhere else as soon as possible. but they still bring er somewhere in the summer. well, we made friends with many of them there, we talked to someone, we went to whom for how much, they really sympathize with us they really support us, many really support us, but in the fall, after four refugees from other countries were brought to the dupilar, there was such a wave of dissatisfaction, because kindergartens are already overcrowded here, schools are overcrowded, many people there

began to say that we are engaged there and the workplace if i am something, i understand that the full satisfaction was only that the overflow was in fact the overpopulation of this small town with refugees , they have developed tourism here and instead of coming to boryspil, they have ukrainians settling in hotels, that is, many i'm a little dissatisfied with this, that's why they usually responded with my concerts, we invited them, we made them postcards, gave them gifts, that is, tell me what kind of events you organized, what kind of concerts, what were there , and in general, you said they comment in ukrainian enough you have such a powerful what do you do how do you support each other and somewhere else in the spring they got married it was here that they became friends among ukrainians and began to think that we would

like to contribute our vacations to the level that something to show that there are ukrainians here to show our culture and so on. well, we started with small concerts . people from hotels gathered. who can sing? who ? who can do what ? we were busy, but they came and i can see if they liked me. we already understood that ireland is such a country they really like to go out somewhere. they like festivals, but they are a festival. let's say that for the most part. that's why they actually respond very well to the concept, we

also did a concert on august 24, on independence day, and a large number of people gathered, it was really nice, a lot of people came, they listened, they liked our songs, and that is, we started they continued and recently they did another concert, it was already much bigger, it was a concert in a church in the center of a department store, uh, there were a lot of people, we didn't expect it, and they were really professionals. let's put it this way, they performed instrumental music. there was vocals, people liked it, i hope and i hope, we showed how ukrainians are at their best , and we sang exactly ukrainian songs, they played ukrainian music, they played ukrainian music,

ukrainian songs, yes, of course, they added a little of irish, it's about something english, and the last concert was dedicated to christmas. that is, it was a christmas film comedy of our philanthropists. that's how shchedrik sounded twice. they know him, as a rule, the bells . and of course they are. i think there will be two years of them. in general , they are interested in ukrainian culture, so they ask something about ukraine, about our traditions, and it was. many people ask if they like our dances because i was not at one of the first concerts, porushechka showed our traditional memory. so, many people still talk about it, but i am not a professional consor, but

they say that they are really interested in it. that is, we would need to develop a little more. so, and show here, they ask, but in fact it gets to the point that they often say there we live near the mountains, it is a very beautiful view here we have that and they say well, we have mountains here, and you went to our highest mountain, i would have answered but you don't know our carpathians, they don't know about three and we have two times more for your mountain, i say everything is very nice with you, everything is very nice, but it reminds me of ukraine. by the way, yevgeny, they were cooking something traditional ukrainian borscht , dumplings for irla, so that they could taste our traditional cuisine, so on the 24th, we cooked it. no , not for 204 and a little earlier, we had an event where they cooked uh and they actually tried borscht and dumplings for four. i think that for

them this is a specific food. there is a little bit here. and he knows a lot because they tried polish exercises, so yes. this is for they are very busy, but some try to someone does anyone like exotic snow - it's so natural for them or of course it's the way they eat potatoes in most of the food, many people say so all the national dishes are related to potatoes in ireland and i think so they still have a lot of meat but clearly i don't eat i can't say, but there are a lot of potatoes, since our hotels feed us. usually, in the morning, they give us some yogurt, something so small , and lunch and dinner are mandatory, or potatoes in any form, soup with soup with potatoes and together with potatoes that is more than

belarusians love irish potatoes, it turns out very rarely rice or something in between, but usually these potatoes are an interesting fact. i also read that indian cuisine is very popular among them. have you tasted there? did you see in general that there are many in establishments somewhere? is it too expensive to go somewhere in ireland to have dinner? should i have dinner with indian cuisine, many people said, well, like a content material they they like it because they eat in portions, that is, many people like me those who generally say no-no-no like you can't i have reasons not to eat but there are those who i really remembered the process. and most of them don’t like japanese food, that is, if we often like sushi there or something like that, they are so mi-mi-minie, i don’t really like

it . in hryvnias and there can really be one tooth there 7-15 euros is one court how much and not dating you don't get there evgeny irish men you are a young beautiful girl who understands unmarried maybe you already have experience dating irish men how are they different tell us about the mentality of our ukrainians. well, first of all, there are not many guys my age here, they have a problem with the fact that young people leave the country usually, that is, there are a lot of young irish people, they go to other countries, often it is australia because they pay more there, this is this problematic plus i live in a village from the village most often young people are interested somewhere more than the city big cities here are chicken and dublin

and usually they are there plus really cork er most of the students that is, you hardly meet them here ah about young people well, i know that we have them a little bit, what are they here a little bit? they like to walk separated. i remember my first impression when we were going to the resettlement, we were going to this hotel. young people, after them, you can beat the bus for two weeks, which they really like to go on. and this is personal, but let's say that i have a bus, he is there and asks what kind of a button you will need, then i say, boy, now is not the time . i'm not up to it right now there are other problems, i mean the russians, that is, we are also

joking, but there is, for example, a commentary. of course , i see it is much easier for them in terms of marriage or something else . er, a woman cleans there, only he says everyone does the same, so i think partnership yes yes who is comfortable, that is, they don’t have someone like us plus er, really, they have many women who are unmarried and they have it is very normal very simple if there is no children no one asked about it makes sense to you there are no children in this world, you don't have a husband, they live a wonderful life and they are fine. they have a lot of nephews, nephews, they love them. and they are not by chance. we also have such stereotypes that if a woman is around 30, then she is already old. why is she not married? why is she not married? does not give birth to children, of course, in europe and in

developed countries there is absolutely no such thing. and we need this. i think we need to bring it into our culture so that everyone is equal in their rights . yazki has e-e in the house and so on evgenia, i can't help but ask you about the climate. and they say that there is such a cruel climate in ireland. have you experienced it yourself, or is it too cold even in the fall? that's how immediately i talk about the climate. i know people who like the climate. the same as here in dilyanytska is normal, but i’m a frostbite and for me it’s very cold, it was really windy now there is no wind, but minus two minus three happens and i feel it because i get to

work by bicycle and at work half the day a day i’m on the street , that is, for me it is really very cold and so like here this cold feels more humid. it's really freezing in the summer, honestly, all summer. i've been waiting for summer, but they almost don't have it here, plus it's 24 and the irish people come and say how hot it is. what should i do? it's terrible, i can't go anywhere because it's very hot . i tell them we have a plus of €30. i think that because it is cold there, not many people go swimming and many irish people do not know how to swim, and the sea is near you . by the way, the ocean is located 70 kilometers from us, but it is very cold there, almost no one is here. i didn’t go to swim like that, maybe those who don’t fear

, only locals, apparently there are many ukrainians who swim here, well, some tried to go in and get out there because the water is cold and it’s cold outside. yes, 18° of heat, approximately, well, that is, not everyone is comfortable living in such temperature regimes at all yes, i bought myself a lot of shoes, i have several pairs that have already peeled off because it is wet here, and instead of really warm, warm jackets like ours, we are always looking for something to protect from the rain here, because there is a lot of rain, so that it does not happen didn't get wet and didn't i missed the answer. that is the main thing, and you don’t show off in this country. you know that the shoes are open at the end

of our conversation, evgeny. i can’t help but ask you. are you planning to return to ukraine after the victory? or maybe under some other conditions. do you want to stay in ireland like this in the first place ? i went here because i need it. well , i need to work to earn money. i need money. i can transfer the money to volunteering and i can at least somehow do something on my own . i understand that i need to know what i will be able to do in ukraine then, because in the first days of the war i wanted to go to staraya, but i understand that they simply can not take me because i have no experience, and i didn't have a car, i didn't have any money ended or the job became me, nobody paid me anything because i

had to look for a job, i came here to find a job, to have money and to learn english. english is possible. just like that, not for money in the same way how are irish people doing now to help people switch to ukrainian more and replace russian with english, i think it will help us, we need to share evgenia thank you very much for an interesting conversation for sharing with us your story of how you left ukraine due to the full-scale invasion of the russian federation and settled found a temporary shelter in ireland, we are all waiting
