to be a mum. on mom. on this i realize at some point the goal of all my work and life was nothing more than about making money ask quickly as possible this year would see what it was all for i couldn't say i was an editor for a glossy magazine at the time when i didn't ok so i can buy another fur coat or a new car or even an apartment so what and thirty four i don't have a man whom i would like to start a family with. i knew then it was time to stop drop it all and try to find myself. i wanted waking up in the morning and go into work to be rewarding the words of

those that i came across an advertisement s.o.s. villages a looking for mothers. i was thrilled when i saw it i had to write a letter to the director and i spent half a day at my computer at home alone trying to find words to describe what i felt the words that could convince him that i was the mom they were looking for and they had to call me immediately. or you know yes hello sergey telegenic line tanks go on and i look through your c.v. why have you decided to work in the village it's

a way of life it is twenty four hours. you know what i don't like spending eight hours a day at work without really knowing why or what you are doing it for. successful applicant for the position of s.o.'s mother is a twenty seven to forty three year old woman who either doesn't have children of her own or has adult children who live independently. thirty four. meter handsome young man who's going to love you and want to have children with you but what i tell the kids early on as found herself it's all over. not as though there are crowds of men here in the lining out for me begging big mean. to offer the kids. kindness and care it was very fond of cooking reading and talking to interesting intelligent people our kids are smart and interesting. ok when you start. to week.

once you good morning kids good morning wake up. get up it's time to go to school no one to sleep. due to doing one boy for example told me that once he woke up got ready and went to school and it was so early in the morning that even the night watchman was still asleep forced to block his mother was a drug addict she didn't even notice her child gone i mean to up through the door they told me my scariest stories about what their lives her life and all their drunk mothers fleeing home and living on the streets or in on heated garages that's what these small children have gone through they've led me into their world and it became easier for them to cope. have you prepared clothes for their animal corner

but have you taken was in the closet yes and the raincoat no problem go do it then . it's not a kindergarten or an offer in which it's a house where you live with your family or your children that are five children. beds and it's fun and cool i mean they're all small so they're always running of our life with their view of an energy so they're constantly doing something claimed . the world good morning. because the reason we face this on a post-war collective farm was any women and children here. that i'm an old soldier myself just like after the second world war so we all work together here. and it was an ordinary week no incidents everything's fine in our house. while the mothers here work a bit like the left turn

a ship. it's good enough if the captain allows you to go ashore once a week or even once a month. the only question was how do you feel. i can say anything was especially appalling or surprising it's more or less what i had prepared for some things i didn't know about were quite unexpected but they didn't shock me. and wanted to enjoy the most wanted to bring you joy in the next fifteen years the kids. but truth be told on this ship too it's my duty and the only difference is that i live in this cabin with my wife and child how. building this ship brought me back to my naval yes as a young. woman i built this ship just the way i remember it. as my service yes we still have it. with my former colleagues and fellow cadets. enough its naval officers that support the

village and. tell them it's not just anybody. spillage. is an international distress signal meaning say our souls. just as the nose of any go. into tears i told him comforting. if i happen to be around hold and try to calm down a child in distress. i can be a father to seventy children just like i can't be a husband to twelve mothers. here. or there or there. at the beach this is. interesting. she does its thing. you know you'll live.

i would one for you i think an s.o.s. father is probably a man who was with her she must be even tempered and have the patience to the same . time because in the evening when children come from school kindergarden since extra lessons as they gather roam to me and start growing mom help me help me he's taking my pen it becomes a currys the house. while you all shouting join the drama club and shout there. they are and. they're clean my nails are clean. what do you do. and they also go to syria. for you are those sergey is the true father for the whole village the mothers and children alike he's the boss with a capital b. . history of being going to argue she would have made a wonderful father because he's very firm level headed confident and competent if

you know how to treat children. my sister and her husband still try to convince me that i should have a child of my own they tell me not to worry that i don't have a husband and promise to support me after they keep saying that it's not a real family because their children are not male i think it's stupid idea i hope i will fall in love with a man who will force me to choose between him and the kids got about i hope i'll never face such a choice. the pressure ridges on with which i want to marry a man who will take responsibility for me and the children but i haven't met such a man yet. but i've regained an appetite for life and that's what happened to me this place lives at its own pace you feel as though you are doing something useful. young what does worry of all of us i've been

divorced for quite a while and lived alone for more than nine years now. i have a sixteen year old daughter who is in the tenth grade and an elderly mother there back in perth and she would be sceptical us another was that my daughter may be jealous but only of the youngest kid six year old girl yeah. she's a very it's a nation's child you know if you don't let me go no i won't go to the us we got on this list quite a difficult child very opinionated and sometimes my daughter says now i know i hate children if i reply to you before but it will pass in time and there's no reason for you to love kids at the age of sixteen. until now dahlia is kind of she helps me with my homework and cooking and teaches me to be healthy and brave and. noble

a kid at first i took four children in january two more joined our family. this year i came back from vacation to discover that i had six children not four and six children that i need to look after you. hello sweetheart how are you to get up. fine so what do you have any free time. on a toll on what about you what's new let us know everything's all right around the time we learn brings home good marks three or four aides every day ordered those are because i got good marks for general conduct which especially please me. hello hello. wedding homework is helping me with physics well make sure your boyfriend doesn't distract you from your studies when need to talk. well let's talk about ten pm when i put the kids to bed wasn't. that all that stuff but i don't want her

to think i've left her. that's why i would regularly talk online that's why i always send money back home. if i put aside very little barely enough for a modest life it would be great to have the support of the man i love. i hope i won't have to choose between. work i had already face a choice once. i left work and my husband served in the military but i won't choose a man this time. this man had better be prepared to accept me with the work i have and the life i. think there probably no such man. they're all villages like this in russia where mothers bring their own children and

raise them all together. but it's not the same. even if a mother does care for everyone equally all the children start complaining that she loves one more than the other of course there is a distinction here my daughter is my own daughter. realized i'm not the kind of person who can raise and log and adopt a child i'm not jealous i'm a one down. now even when a mother calls him at eleven or twelve. even if she is young and attractive i say absolutely call. new mothers who are younger and younger to day for example i was going to wait and met my has been in the company of a pretty young woman. your husband in the company of. the young man there. so as mom asked for an s.o.s.

dad you have to go through the whole country with a fine tooth comb to find a couple like vastly difficult. women s.o.'s mum falls in love with a man it's different. than s.o.'s mother but he's not an asset. yes debt she's my junior but what about him my his boss to sort of doing in a sense from three of my rival as we speak in korea. there's a media lead us so we believe that maybe. i will soon push the suit to the other your party visible. push is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on r t.

but you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially for your public appearances with today even though they weren't explicit they politically or just supporting sports the same is that some people who zoom has become very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i think the say they have an agenda i think through gender is is bought and paid for. pick. the i want to. take up something that is quite simply. was no way over. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and

sold to us and turned over to us for. the sole that could be buried alive. was saved with great ever. really wanted to turn me into a terrorist so it was they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda or taliban or that i fought with them. not about time i didn't even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people all. brave enough to start a fight. something's going to be done that's going to be done by me i have a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me and be prosecuted but it's going to impact. the wife my daughter. the one time i'm a tramp. on r.g.p. .

the old. boy i was surprised when alexander the oldest of the kids called me mom she was the first to do it was too early for you i jumped at that moment because i wasn't ready yet it's like if a man proposes to you and you answer whoa i need time to think so when she called me mom i immediately time to think about to get used to the idea i spent a couple of days sorting knowledge of my feelings. that well my mom died. and another woman. i didn't understand it when i first saw her. i know lisa and to her and called her names and said there's two things to her just now is so only until i don't know the day i call mom. because stanley used to her.

she was kind nice. and caring mom with mom is you could say. the most important person in your life. but when my big conflict if i tell a child to do something for example kids often want to play instead of doing their homework one of my girls takes these situations very close to heart and school owes us herself. and because of these strong emotions she might start calling me auntie a little not again. now i even feel slightly offended and i go like why are you calling me that i'm your mother how can you say that. she can with a direct question. and then she can mom. and she likes it when it's clean and. that's.

just the our own parents didn't want us there so when i came to the children's village i understood for the first time what it meant to be needed to be cared for . you on a guy i felt i had a chance to achieve something in this life of the bush tonight i like this job because it allows me to create chocolate is like modeling clay now it's flowing but in half an hour it will set and i'll be able to put it into any shape i like. when i lived in the village mom would say that if she did everything instead of us we would never learn that she told us we had to do everything ourselves. my dream is to open my own chocolate factory. my real mother only once the limit on a street in the town of pushkin this woman approached man said hello how are you so

i realized it was my mother standing before me the woman who had carried me for nine months. these were the only ones she had heiress said to me so i answered i'm fine good bye. moment my village mother went with me through everything no no says carl's and joyful mom and. each year she invited us to her house where we were in soul calls that i never even noticed it was more work for her. when. they called me to see where i come in on friday where coming on saturday evening they know they'll be welcomed here one says same bank not the same as i want to meet. she is startling dependent yes i am independent. it's just that i get marriage we've been living

together for only here and we're still getting used to each other my has no wants to have three kids i told him to raise at least one terrorist and then we'll see. there are two sisters and they are very close the older one will defend those younger to the last drop of blood in spite of being small and she has a very strong character so when the older kids try to raise their voices to her she immediately takes them down a peg. their grandmother and grandfather often come to visit them it's very important when relatives can stay in touch especially if they don't just come with a bag of presents and leave by thinking they've done their duty but when they actually spend time with the kids. normal rules. mom i did my

daughter was a single mother it was little after giving birth to police and alexandra she started seeing a drug addict and forgot about the children for some time to look awkward to but it was all. siblings can be sent to the same or for. image. so in this case this village was a blessing because they were not separate it now my first my wife died of a stroke then she suffered a stroke two. is that if i hadn't had a stroke the girls wouldn't have ended up with a great grandfather was eighty two don't allow him to take the girls because of his age and i'm disabled they told me you yourself need to be looked after we can't allow you to take the kids call scoop alina have a good a line today jim that sticks what i wanted to gymnastics.

and i treat them as my own daughter's no good and want some strangers can just common take them away i don't want it to happen we're going to hear such things i get really really nervous with it i noticed that yesterday i got a phone call apparently there are some couple that wants to adopt a child yosh would my heart sank when i heard it i thought you wish i won't let you take them from me so easily. just announced in the record this is how she prepares for bed usually kids watch cartoons and go to sleep but she gets even more excited because of cartoons she different from other children she was so tend to feel you know when your child hold you in tissue they radiate kindness. with these children it's different they don't give anything they only take trying to make up for the lack of kindness in their

life and this girl radiated warmth. and to. most people. all our children are in the database for adoption one woman saw a picture on the internet and decided to adopt this child how she's so much like my daughter when she was small she's just her exact copy. i called her grandmother and she told me that the adoptive mother has stopped all contact contact because loosely of all this and that she said she heard the girl's voice but the woman told her she wouldn't give the girl the phone the girl with no roots going to be through another route to go back to the dawn of time. which i'm afraid that if something happens to this woman the girl be sent to an orphanage again children should live in a family. but only after the last child leaves the orphanage. people come and take

because it's from here in the village it's not the worst place in the world for these children. with village kids i played the games i didn't have time to as a kid resilience to start your day i mean your team ran you know going off along the boys it's just that i have to sign papers and attach seals to show. well done with girls used to be tough but when you're raising a boy sometimes you have to be stern and force him to do things through the station you can have a serious man to man talk with him. so you're going to be a man a lot after all. is the father of the whole village but he doesn't respond to a dad because he has his own daughter i don't think i will ever call him dad in fact half of the kids call so gay father no they don't yes they do i heard that one

i haven't had them. why are you arguing it's true i had them i know better i'm not jealous because i think it's ok for this child it's what these kids need with you they simply need to have someone to go daddy to get on the rare occasions very small children asked if i was their dad my said you know i'm the director here he's not. just a director being a dad is one thing and then being a director is close it's still a completely different thing. to social when you want to kazan when i was picking my kids up from school and kindergarten teacher i saw

a woman with three children we did it in exchange the knowing look and smile to each other there was a wonderful feeling i have the moment i really felt like a mother of five we were both mothers of a large family home oh these are your children and there's a mine i knew then what a mother's happiness means. that's when all your children are with you. if one day i came and said ok kids our life is about to change and leaving you because i found a new toy and the story is my husband yes it was baby trail that was scattered or politically but. still is not one to children need to be happy that must a whole home to not only monitor spot fathers in the village as well i still find

they want to find a husband whole biala dad. again when mom decides to leave same place and mom brianna's with you our own wishes coincide if i ever go away i would take the kids with me without a doubt but i would have never thought that they were actually looking for a husband for me of of lots .

i think the issue of privacy the issue of surveillance hasn't gotten enough coverage in the mainstream media i think the majority of americans don't know what's going on don't understand the significance of what's come out this summer i don't think it necessarily they need to hear about me and my story because a lot of it is one small piece of a much larger puzzle but what i do think that mainstream america needs to hear about and then her stand is just to what blinks our government is going to conduct surveillance just how much information they're actually collecting and storing in some cases for years you know these are very significant problems these are the types of issues that can do a democracy like ours. wealthy british some of them.

sometimes disagree. with the. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines just to name two kinds of reports on our to exactly what happened that i don't know killed. for years later is when i got arrested. for a crime or did not do. we have numerous cases were police officers lie about polygraph. people to try to the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation because there's been this is like. no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse they were off taking they could do what

they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. the. least be cool language. programs documentaries in arabic it's all here. reporting from the world talks books fifty yard p. interviews intriguing stories to tell you. that troy. for a visit or a big old dog called. horse outside to active camps at guantanamo where patients are forced that this comes after him out of their strike never turned the world's attention to the place that
